The Truth About Tribal Rights in India
Manage episode 479037289 series 2927430
Trupti Parekh and Ambrish Mehta might look like any retired couple—until you hear their story.
For 40+ years, they’ve lived with tribal communities in Narmada, fighting for land, dignity, and survival.
To the people they support, they aren’t activists—they’re family.
Even today, millions of tribals are called “encroachers” on forests they’ve lived in for generations.
- Outdated British laws like the 1927 Forest Act still deny them rights.
-Why does “development” often mean displacement for them?
-And why are their voices still unheard in 2025, in free India?
This isn't history—it's happening now. Watch to know the truth.
