Adivasi Lives Matter

Today, we honor the legacy of Tilka Manjhi, a true hero of the Adivasi community and India’s first freedom fighter, on his death anniversary. Born in 1750 in Sultanganj, Bihar, Tilka Manjhi led a valiant rebellion against the oppressive British East India Company long before the 1857 revolt. His unwavering courage and determination to protect his people and their lands sparked a spirit of resistance that remains an inspiration to this day. Tilka Manjhi was brutally executed in 1785, but his sacrifice marked the beginning of India's long struggle for freedom. Let us remember and celebrate his extraordinary contributions to our history, his fight for justice, and his undying spirit.

On 9 January 1899, hundreds of tribals sacrificed their lives alongside Birsa Munda in his Ulgulan against British oppression. Birsa dreamed of Munda Raj – a land free from exploitation and injustice. With arrows and unwavering courage, the Mundas stood tall against colonial forces. Though Birsa's life was brief, his legacy continues to ignite the fight for tribal rights. Today, we honor and salute all those brave tribals who were martyred in this historic struggle. Ulgulan – the Great Tumult – lives on, inspiring generations to stand for justice and freedom.
