HOMAGE TO A GREAT MAN


More than a week has elapsed since the 'birthday' of Bastar 's last king,Pravir Chandra Bhanjdeo and nobody has remembered him. Born on June 25, 1929 he was truly an' adivasi God'.With due respect to Rani Durgavati , her balidaan diwas was celebrated all over.Did anybody recall the sacrifice made by Pravir chandra Bhanjdeo? What makes him very important even today is the concern he had for his praja, the adivasis who are a tormented lot today.Exploited by local businessmen, torn apart by political games like the salwa judum, hunger, poverty ,disease, land grabbing by big industrial giants and finally a great slap on the face by the govt. websites which call them wild and animal like, drunkards and sex maniacs! They have nowhere to go. My homage to a great ruler, who if there today could have changed the entire fate of Bastar!

Truly a great King of Adivasis, who was brutally killed by those in Power at that time.
