Adivasi have been betrayed by the mainstream political parties in Uttar Pradesh
Vidya Bhushan Rawat
Uttar Pradesh goes to Polls soon and parties will make promises but the condition of Kol Adivasi in Bundelkhand region is a matter of concern.
The Adivasi in Uttar Pradesh come under the Scheduled Caste category and that is the crux of their problem.
Despite having a clear majority in the region, Kols have not been able to get a ticket for parliament or assemblies.
In fact, Adivasi have been betrayed by the mainstream political parties in Uttar Pradesh. There was one member of assembly from Koranv who belonged to CPI( M) once otherwise Kols are out of preview of the political parties in UP. They have not got land under Forest Rights Act.
In this conversation they discuss with me various issues they face in this region.
Three social leaders of the community narrate the plight of their community, its challenges and how it has been betrayed. Sharing this video in the hope that the issue of Kols would be resolved soon, parties will note it and help them get justice.
Listen to this conversation and you will realise how Kols have been duped by the political parties and how administration plays tricks by categorising Adivasi into the scheduled castes and then denying them their genuine rights over their forest land.
Please circulate it to political parties in UP. Let them respond about this question.
