  • According to the 2011 census, over one lakh people in Wayanad are Adivasi, making up 31.24 percent of the district's population. There are at least nine Adivasi tribes in the region, some better off than the others, economically and socially.
    Though their numbers make them a strong voting block the Adivasis are easily the most ignored community in Wayanad.
    Newslaundry's Nidhi Suresh and Aditya Varier speak to the people to find out why.

      My question to the Adivasi voices lending support to NDA and BJP is this....
      1. Have BJP govts given land to tribals in any other part of India?
      2. Have they heard about the extreme levels of Gheto-isation in BJP ruled states against minorties?
      Never in the hisotry of India has BJP given land to any minority group. It is better to negotiate with UDF or LDF.

      They did try to take back land for this same purpose which was 'illegally held' (expired leases among others)by foreign corporates, but when it turned into a legal fight, the High Court ordered in favour of the corporates. The state government took the matter to the Supreme Court as well following this, but there was no favourable result.

      The percentage of Brahmins in Kerala is just around 2%. Before the land reformations by the Left, more than 90% of Kerala's land was in the hands of the Brahmins. The Left took it and distributed among the rest of the people. Yes, the left is not perfect and need to do a lot for the Adivasis, but you can't say that they are just bragging.

One of them is P Shamsudheen and he is now Mukkoli Area Secretary of CPIM.
      They can't even appoint a public prosecutor and make him attend the case properly,all this is being done to save the CPM goons who killed Madhu!
