Adivasis has no voice
Different
Adivasis states got formed, adivasis people also became their Chief Ministers, and
even then Adivasis people are not happy. Adivasis have their grievance that in
Adivasis states in spite of adivasis person being its Chief Minister Adivasis
has no voice. Some people may feel that this is an imaginary idea but this is
not an imaginary idea, this is a reality.
This reality
cannot be considered as false When Adivasis state took place that time Jharkhand
was carved out of Bihar. At a time struggle for separate Jharkhand State was
going on that time nearly 75% population was of adivasis people who were
residing in Jharkhand. But today when Jharkhand became separate State, only 20%
population is of Adivasis who are residing there. What happened? Did sky sucked them or earth swallowed them?
These adivasis were neither sucked away into sky nor did earth swallow them but
migration took place amongst Jharkhand Adivasis. Jharkhand adivasis went to
Andaman and Nicobar Island, they went to Assam and they went to some other
places.
It is
natural that when displacement took place then population of Adivasis which was
75% of Jharkhand would reduce. When Jharkhand adivasis migrated to Assam then
Assam’s Congress government launched a program to get Assam Adivasis fights
with Jharkhand Adivasis, and propagated that they are outside people, and not
from Jharkhand. Even today Assam has Congress Government this program is
ongoing as it was earlier. Assam adivasis call adivasis migrated from Jharkhand
as ‘Dikkus’.
The meaning
of ‘Dikku’ is creator of troubles. But this thinking is not original to Assam
adivasis but this thought has been put into the minds of Assam adivasis so that
Adivasis will fight amongst themselves, incite amongst themselves, killed
amongst them. Earlier Adivasis population in Jharkhand that was 75% was very
big problem for the ruling Brahmin caste. If Jharkhand Adivasis are displace
and go into Assam then adivasis population in Assam will increase, and on its
won this will give rise to another problem. That’s why adivasis is made to
fight another adivasis so that adivasis do not rise up as independent force, so
that they do not transform into rulers.
In Assam there is Congress government but this congress government has
not included adivasis in the list of Scheduled Tribes. This is so because if
they were included in Scheduled list then Assam government would have been
compelled to provide them with all the decided facilities. This is the reason
as to why government did not include them in the Scheduled Tribes list; so that
they are deprived of the facilities.
Adivasis who
vote for Congress party, meaning based on adivasis votes congress party has
been ruling, same Congress has denied to include Assam Adivasis in the list of
Scheduled Tribes and prevented facilities to them. Adivasis has great
contribution in getting congress party in power at central government level.
Adivasis put in all their might to ensure that Congress government remains in
power in Delhi (central government).
The strength
that Congress got from the medium of adivasis, Congress used this strength to
uproot these very adivasis. It is a different matter that adivasis from Jharkhand
migrated. This is not the only reason as to why adivasis population in Jharkhand
reduced. There are lots of other reasons for this. How ruling castes betray,
and how with long term planning to carry on the task of destruction, this
understanding is beyond the comprehension of common people.
Ruling caste
put in place long term strategy to finish off adivasis. With the creation of
separate Jharkhand State which was part of Bihar state; there was large scale
migration of adivasis living in Bihar to other parts of India. Due to
undeveloped industry it was very difficult to earn the livelihood of self and
family, and in search of livelihood Jharkhand there was large scale migration
of adivasis from Jharkhand.
Later on
when separate state was formed ruling castes launched program of industrial
development with multiple objectives. Biggest industry was set up in Jharkhand.
After separation of Jharkhand and Bihar all the industry was set up in
Jharkhand itself and lots of Bhumihar (Rajput) and Brahmin industrialists from
Bihar migrated and settled in Jharkhand. In this way ruling caste people set up
industry in a big way. Mulnivasis Bhahujan samaj people migrated in search of
means to mitigate hunger but Bihar’s Bhumihars – Rajputs and Brahmins migrated
for development meaning prosperity and wealth. Bhumihar’s from Bihar were taken
to Jharkhand and to set up industry adivasis lands were snatched away.
Brhaminical Bhumihars developed and prospered while adivasis were displaced and
destroyed.
Bihar’s
Bhumihars went to Jharkhand and Jharkhand’s desperate daily wage adivasis went
to Assam. In this was first Bhumihars entered Jharkhand and desperate daily
wage adivasis went to Assam. In this way the large percentage of adivasis
population in Jharkhand got reduced and adivasis population dwindled from 75%
to 25%.
When
Jharkhand adivasis were agitating for separate State that time Jharkhand was
not grated separate statehood because that time their population percentage was
75% and ruling power would have gone in their hands. That’s why when Jharkhand
was formed as separate state its Adivasis population was just 27%.
When Jharkhand
state was declared as separate state that time Jharkhand Adivasis were very
happy but power to rule went in the hands of BJP Chief Minister. Those
Jharkhand adivasis struggling for separate Jharkhand did not get power to rule
in their hands, nor did Congress Party –to whom adivasis agitating for separate
Jharkhand supported - get power.
Power sent
in the hands of BJP because Bhumihars (Rajputs and Brahmins) strengthened their
hold on Jharkhand. They purchased
adivasis votes and made Babulal Marandi, a tribal man as Chief Minister.
Congress took over Power in Chattisgarh that was carved out from Madhya Pradesh
as its share. The State that adivasis demanded got formed but one state was
captured by Congress and second state got captured by BJP.
When Bill
for separate Jharkhand State came up in Parliament that time Congress and BJP
opposed it tooth and nail, and did allow it get passed. But when the compromise
took place between Congress and BJP that Congress will get Chhattisgarh and BJP
will Jharkhand only then the Bills of both these States were passed in the
Parliament. These two adivasis States got formed but the true representatives
of adivasis could not reach to take over power and rule. Adivasis men is made
the Chief Minister but his Chief Secretary some Brahmin named Dubey, Chaubey
and even if he is not a Chaubey, Dubey but definitely a Brahmin.
In this way
both the brahmanical parties kept power under their control and only to show
public to put forth Babulal Marandi, Babulal Gaur, Ajit Jogi, Arjun Munda and
the like. After putting these people in front people were told ‘see this is
your representative’. With just one man as Chief Minister, Adivasis are happy
and take flight into illusion ‘now our rule has come!’. Chief Minister is
adivasis but he does not have any capacity to and power to take decisions. He
is like a bull who is tied with role in his neck and the end of rope is in
somebody else’s control, and this bull runs only to that extend that is
permitted by the one who is holding the end of the rope. On his wish bull
cannot decide the pace of his run either fast or slow. Bull cannot do anything
on his own wish.
The state of
our Chief Ministers is somewhat like this. Chief Minister remains our man but
administration remains under total control of Brahmins. The Brahmin sitting in
administration gives suggestions to our Chief Minister, Cabinet minister as to
which task to be taken up and how it is to be accomplished. Our Chief Minister
implements the suggestions given by him. Suggestion is given to make law
against our interest and in the interest of Brahmins and this suggestion is implemented.
Brahmins read Indian Constitution as per their calculations and drew its
meanings according to their own calculations. Today Brahmins are administrating
all the affairs in a manner convenient to them and that’s why now ‘We do not
have any voice’ is a thinking of adivasis which is natural.
