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.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
