Adivasi Quotes

“To separate the Adivasi from his land is to stop his breathing. If you want to see an Adivasi's extinction, take him away from his land- as it is happening at present. It is a strange irony that when the Adivasi could lead a life of self- reliance, he is being compelled to become disabled and parasitic. The Adivasi, after having been uprooted from his land through the establishment of big projects in the name of public interest and national development, is ending up in slums in the peripheries of modern cosmopolitan cities as an army of landless labourers and domestic servants losing altogether their self- reliance and self- esteem.”

“We, tribals, we have no history or historian to chronicle the wars we fought, number of people we killed. We have no King, no President and no prince or princess to nurture. We have no God or goddess to worship. It is air, water, fire, trees, rivers and land; our benefactors, we nurtured and take succour from.”
― Amar Mudi
