The Goanet Issue 361 and others which should have arrived last Tuesday arrived early Friday.....I was appalled. The word ADIVASI was new for me. I checked it up and I could believe what was emerging. At risk, are OVER 115 Millions ADIVASI .....I have seen pictures of their landscape and the simplicity of their lives and how they used their environment .....their land, not the high rise buildings and the speedways for the rich...The Advisasi lands which they have use for generations and generations ARE THE LUNGS OF INDIA.
Here Fr. Swamy, an 84 year old activist born in a tribal society in Tamil Nadu in 1937, suffering from Parkinson Disease, not even allowed a sipper. The Lord taking him for Perpetual Rest is an act of mercy....The jailers and their bosses are worse than Hyenas ....Hyenas actually look after the old take food for them. Back to my numbers .......OVER 115 Million in calculated jeopardy is more than HITLER did in EUROPE and the Holocaust that ruthlessly killed Jews. Is that what Modi is trying to do ......Lets pray for Divine Intervention so that the Prime Minister of India gets enlightened. A Shocked Grandolfo At risk are more than double the Population of the whole of Tanzania .... As an Activist, he campaigned vociferously whenever the tribals suffered atrocities at the hands of the government or were denied their rights. Fr Swamy always believed that tribal activism is the best way to effect changes in the tribal society. Be it water rights, land rights, or even constitutional rights, Fr Swamy tirelessly took up various issues that concerned the tribal community. In fact, in the year 2016, he conducted a study on Adivasi prisoners and found that the proportion of undertrials languishing in jails is far higher than their proportion of the population!f
