Celebration mocks struggle for survival: Tribals
The Morning Standard
|October 27, 2025
EVEN as the state is gearing up to declare Kerala 'extreme poverty-free', majority of tribals are "continuing their struggles against hunger, unemployment and landlessness".
The state is set to make the declaration -hailed as a historic milestone -- on November 1 with a starstudded event to be attended by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and film icons Mohanlal, Mammootty and Kamal Haasan. But tribal communities say the celebration mocks their continued struggle for survival.
They allege that the campaign has failed to touch the poorest and most marginalised.
Wayanad, home to one of Kerala's largest tribal populations, was declared 'extreme poverty-free' on October 25 by Minister for Welfare of SC-ST O R Kelu. But, according to tribal activists, the official narrative hides harsh realities of hunger and homelessness.
