Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren emphasized on Sunday that the fight for tribal rights continues, drawing a parallel with the struggles of their ancestors who fought against the British long before India's independence was even a distant dream.

JAMSHEDPUR:

Soren's assertions came during his speech at Martyrs' Honour Day at Siringasiya under the Tonto Block of West Singhbhum district, held in remembrance of the tribal rebellion (Kol Rebellion) against the British, led by martyr Poto Ho in 1837.

"We Adivasis, led by martyrs like Poto Ho, Bhagwan Birsa Munda, Baba Tilka Majhi, Sidhu Kanhu, Chand-Bhairav, and Phulo-Jhano, took on the mighty British Empire head-on with money and all sorts of weapons at a time when the dream of India's independence had not taken shape. It is their unrelenting struggle and fight for our rights that have given the tribals a separate identity and a glorious legacy. We are proud of being tribals," said Soren.
