This is not an ordinary protest. This is tribal uprising from the hills of Kalahandi against Vedanta and Adani’s Bauxite mining plan.
At Kerapai, thousands of Adivasi women and men packed the protest site shoulder-to-shoulder under scorching heat, raising slogans and holding handwritten placards against the Vedanta-Adani bauxite mining plans for Sijhimali and Kutrumali hills.
The visuals are striking — rows upon rows of tribal women sitting resolutely on the ground, many carrying traditional scarves and sticks, refusing to surrender their jal, jangal, zameen to corporate mining interests. The sheer scale of the gathering shows the depth of anger brewing against the Mohan Majhi govt.
The BJP govt’s tribal CM experiment in Odisha is beginning to unravel.
BJP may have believed that projecting a tribal CM would make it easier to hand over Odisha’s mineral-rich hills to mining giants. But the ground reality is exploding in the opposite direction.
Kalahandi and Raygada have sent a loud warning: tribal voices cannot be erased for corporate profit.

India has zero urban planning. We just concentrate on creating concrete jungles with imposing structures using a lot of glass and structural glazing. Nobody wants to create tree-lined boulevards, public gardens, or compulsory water bodies.
The most iconic line from this book is: We have to remember that what we observe is not nature in itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
