HUMAN RIGHTS' EDUCATION IN INDIA

To Honour the Bhils and Perpetuate the Memory of Rana Punja Bhil, Senapati of Mewar

The Government of India has made beautiful act called Atrocity Act for the protection of tribals or Adivasis OF India who on record are 8.2 % in the country. The Atrocity law is also operative empowering courts and persons in authority concerned to protect the tribes of India. Ever since it has come into implementation, thanks to the Government of India for enacting such a law and much more for enforcing it in the tribal regions, but on the grass root level it has made hardly any difference for the tribals in India. Besides there are so many other laws too in existence to make no difference. When the tribal or the indigenous rights issues arise there is no one to stand by and the tribals have to pay huge price for the defence of their Adivasi rights. The land case of Orissa, Tata Nano case in West Bengal and now case of British Company's Mining rights in Chhattisgarh. It is said that some laws are enacted to keep on records in papers and not for implementation. The tribal human right laws appear to be of this category. The Bhils of Western India have laid down their lives for the defence of India for example when all the Rajputs had joined Akbar's Army against Haldighat War, it was only the patriotic Bhils of India stood by the worthy son of Rajputana. What an honour for the patriotic Bhils of Rajputana who stood by till the very end of Rana Pratap when every Rajpur had deserted him. Is it not fair to initiate Human rights education to perpetuate the memory of such loyal Bhils when the so called the great warriors had deserted the Maharana of Mewar?

To perpetuate the memory and the vision of the great tribal heroes such as the Bhil Hero Rana Punja should be initiated for the colleges and the universities very aptly. At the same time another course of the tribal human rights should be introduced for the Adiviasis of India which will enhance their lowered self image by denigrating them. One such venture in the adivasi areas of India could be rightly termed as Rana Punja human right education in India. Some may enhance their self esteem while ignoring the Bhils of Mewar but the history cannot be reversed.......!
