4 months agoThanks for this important post🙏🏽 out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the Hindi film Newton and its depiction of adivasi political theory?
4 months agoSaying avarna as a catchall term is like calling all fruits not-leaves. Not good to flatten any extant community into monoliths
4 months agoIndians themselves are clueless about the fact that it was tribals and adivasi and santhals who fought the first battle of Indian freedom much before the battle which got actually written about
4 months agoSo glad you talked about this! I was tired of 'subaltern discourse' that only acknowledges Dalit struggles and recognises caste as the only form of subaltern lens to understand Adivasi oppression. And even within the caste lens, Adivasi struggle is rarely recognised and is only talked about to leverage the urgency of Dalit oppression.
