Birsa Munda is on many stamp covers – 1988 to 2023. There are none of Jaipal Singh Munda, member of India’s Constituent Assembly, Olympic gold medalist, and writer.
Long-pending demand for separate Sarna code in census has been at heart of tribal stirs. JMM & Congress had tried to corner BJP on the issue during LS polls.
There’s a subtle caste system in place. Most Mumbai Parsis don’t want to discuss their tribal brethren. Priests refuse to live in the villages and no fire temples have been built.
A historic judgment passed on 29 September upholds the guilty conviction of the hundreds accused. It’s not enough for the people of Vachathi, which was once Veerappan’s territory.
The MLAs cited a report by ThePrint Hindi, published on 15 March, on alleged police repression against Adivasis in the state. Investigation ongoing in some cases, say Jharkhand Police.
In ‘Being Adivasi’, Meenakshi Natarajan writes that Nehru believed we should neither consider tribal beliefs inferior nor impose our rituals and thoughts on them.
Every major police casualty ignites the demand for security forces to be given a ‘free hand’. But no state govt has restrained its forces in the last 15 years.
Pakistan aimed to convey a message to the West about its counterterrorism efforts and show China that it has control over the CPEC routes. However, both messages fell flat.
Tajikistan did not want to extend the lease because of apparent pressure from Russia & China over non-regional military personnel at the air base, it is learnt.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
i think what has been indicated in it is the fundamental challenge when it comes to forming any opinion or judgement about anyone other than your own self (therefore the reason why being opinionated or judgemental regarding others is not a good thing, and can eventually lead to unjust biases and prejudices) which is – what according to your personal opinion or judgement are the characteristics defining another person, is, at the end of the day, but a representation of the image of that person as it has formed inside your own mind, and not necessarily a representation of the image of that person as it exists inside their own mind.
and thus, if one wants to follow the principle of fairness, then one should never feel a sense of certainty about who another person truly is based on their personal opinion or judgement, until and unless they get that opinion or judgement cross-checked and verified by actually talking to that particular person, and asking them about what they think about their own selves.
i guess it is an important idea behind the need to have a fair and impartial judicial system in any society as well.
thank you for this article.
