Jhabua Bhils: In the Midst of Election Conflicts

Jhabua Bhils: In the Midst of Election Conflicts

Ever since the of gaining of Indian Independence, the Indigenous people namely the Bhils of Jhabua very constantly and loyally voted more specially in the favour of Congress party. Then, some 6o years back they were termed liiterate and today the literacy actual is not more than 20 % even though the Government of Madhya Pradesh claims to have it 100%. The actual problems of the Bhils especially since more than two decades is illiteracy, unemployment, electricity, economic and agricultural development, literacy, education, migration, basic health, and many more. But the both Central and state Governments have not responded positively except the Shivraj Chauhan government of BJP to some extent in the last three years. Today the elections are hovering and they the Bhils are split among Congress, BJP, BSP, Janata Dal (U), SP and some independent cadidates. Non of the them have responded correctly to the basic needs of the poor and the wholistically deprived community of the Bhils in their political agendas not only in Jhabua but all over India in other states as well. Enlightened leaders are need to guide and animate them to help them respond in the conflicting situation and restore overall beneficial situation for the basic needs or survival. At present the human rights issues, or Adivasi rights and civil liberties are hidden and no party cares for them. During all these election propoganda days the BSP party appears to come closer to help and respect the ST communities espcially the Bhils of Jhabua in our Context where the SC, ST & OBS in this context the Bhils will have at least minimum say in the developmental and human rights issues which are in the state of ignoring and denial. May be in the days to come when the Government is formed in Bhopal Mayavati's party BSP will make some change as they are playing a prophetic role for their centuries old liberation from the India socio-economic bondages and second slavery of the SC, ST & OBC in the Free India.
