Introduction

Adivasi Jan Parishad is an LWE political party. AJP has been primarily active in the Adivasi area of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh for over twenty plus years (officially founded in 1998). Currently, AJP is headed by Prem Shahi Munda.

They want all 30% Tribals of Jharkhand to unite and become a strong political voice, but they are mobilizing Adivasi voters to the Hemant Soren (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha - JMM) and Congress.

That is why in order to defeat BJP, these people instigated the tribals with such issues from which they were to benefit. But after instigating these people, neither the condition of the tribals improved nor their area was developed.

Key People of AJP

 

Modus Operandi of AJP or Narrative which AJP works on

1. Protest against Amendment of Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act & Santhal Parganas Land Tenancy:

• CNT stands for Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act, I guess it was created in 1908. After that time many amendments have been done in this Act. This act restricts the transfer(selling/buying) of tribal lands to non-tribals in Jharkhand region. CNT act was formed because Many non-tribal people have lured the tribal people in the remote areas in order to buy their lands in cheap price. It was also observed that they were forced by the non-tribals for selling their farmlands and non-farmlands.

 

• SPT stands for Santhal Parganas Land Tenancy -

Land tenancy denotes the terms and conditions upon which a tenant holds land of the landlord. The tribal unrest like Santhal insurrection (1885-87) due to alienation of land and exploitation by market players like traders, money lenders and the non-transferability of land tenancy was introduced in the agrarian case laws of this division during McPerheron's settlement in 1900. This provision was finally included in section 20 of the SPT Act, 1949.

This non-transferability was introduced in the tenancy laws of this division, not for the economic development and welfare of tribal themselves but as a tool to prevent tribal unrest and secure administration in this region. This primitive land tenancy is not only applicable to tribal and tribal land holdings but also non-tribal and non-tribal land holdings of this division. According to section 20 of SPT Act 1949, no transfer by a raiyat of his right in his holding or among person thereof, by sale, gift, mortgage, will, lease or any other contract or agreement empress or employed shall be valid.

Under section 42 of this Act, the Deputy Commissioner (Collector of the district) may at any time either at his own motion or on application made to him pass an order for eviction of any person who has encroached upon, reclaimed, acquired or came into possession of agriculture land by a summery proceeding. Under this Act, in all villages, hereditary village headmen (Pradhan / Mulraiyat) were appointed even though non-tribal never had village headman in their society. They brought under the Pradhani / Mulraiyat intermediary land revenue system.

In other words, the concept of ownership of land does not exist in this division, raiyat having only occupancy right with the right of inheritance. Acquisition of immoveable property like commercial building, houses, agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes, land for medical and educational facilities are prohibited in this division which became hindrance for skill development and private entrepreneurship.

This tribalisation of non-tribal communities, primitivism of tribal communities led to status quo maintenance in this region and lack of infrastructure for education, health, manufacturing and commercial agriculture. Adding further hindrance to the development of education.

After the BJP government was formed again in 2014, Chief Minister Raghubar Das also took the initiative to change these laws, but he also faced heavy opposition from outside the House (AJP was also part on those protests). He too had to back down.

 

2. Land Acquisition Law 2017 -

Land acquisition law in India was never “pro farmer” to being with. We had been following an 1894 Act, which allowed for forced land acquisitions and low rates of compensation for farmers. To the credit of the UPA-II government, they brought a new Act in 2013, but Congress can’t take a high moral ground as all their “pro-poor” governments ignored the need for over 60 years.

Now the Modi government, or rather the NDA government, has made some changes to the UPA’s Act through an ordinance. These changes are being called anti-farmer and pro-industry by anti-development forces which AJP was also part of it.

AJP Activities

1. The people of AJP had instigated the tribal people against the amendment in CNT and SPT Act. There was a provision in this that apart from agriculture, tribals would be able to use their land for commercial purposes as well. With this they will also get business rate, till now the tribals could not sell their land to anyone else.Activities for Amendment of CNT-SPT Act

 

Under the CNT amendment it was decided that -

◦ The government can make rules for the use of the land which is not being cultivated.

◦ If any other work is being done on that land other than agriculture, then the government can impose tax on it.

◦ Land owners can sell their land to the government for social, state development and welfare schemes. The price of this land will not be less than the market price.

◦ Land can be given for road, canal, railway, wire laying, water pipeline as well as school, college, hospital, university, panchayat building and Anganwadi.

◦ Other than the work for which the land has been given, no other work can be done on that land.

◦ If the land is not used for five years, then the ownership of the land will go to the old owner. For this, the money given to the old owner will also not be returned.

◦ The land of tribals cannot be transferred to anyone on the basis of compensation.

 

Under the SPT amendment it was decided that -

• The state government can make rules for the use of agricultural land for other purposes.

• The government will be able to acquire such land and its value will not be more than the sum of the market value of the land and one percent thereof.

• After acquisition, if it is not used for five years, the land will go back to the old owner.

• Apart from agriculture, the land can be used for business. With this, tribals will also get business rates.

 

2. On 12 August 2017, the BJP government led by Chief Minister Raghubar Das in Jharkhand passed a bill in the assembly. The name of this bill was 'The Right to Fair Redress and Transparency in Land Acquisition-Rehabilitation and Resettlement, Jharkhand Amendment Bill - 2017.' This bill was introduced in the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly to make new rules for land acquisition in Jharkhand.

But anti-development organizations like Adivasi Jan Parishad did not like this because they did not want to allow the tribals to move forward, that is why these people started provoking the tribals.Activities for Land Acquisition Bill

 

Some provisions were made in this new bill -

• Before acquiring land, its social impact is seen. There is a provision in the Land Acquisition Bill 2013, through which land is acquired throughout the country. The Jharkhand government abolished this social impact rule.

• Due to this, the way was cleared for acquisition of land for government schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, panchayat buildings, Anganwadi, rail projects, irrigation schemes, electrification, water supply schemes, roads, pipelines and houses for the poor.

• Under the new bill, the land acquisition work was to be completed in a maximum of six months.

• After it was passed by the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly, it was sent for the approval of the Central Government.

• The central government returned it after objections from the Union Agriculture Ministry. The central government had said that due to this bill, there will be a decrease in the agricultural land in Jharkhand.

• After this, the Jharkhand government had said that no more than two percent of the multi-cropped irrigated land would be acquired in any district. 

• In any district, not more than one-fourth of the total net sown area will be acquired.

 

3. They do not want to see the development of Jharkhand, that's why they oppose the development projects because when development comes, the area will develop and then the tribals will prosper and will not come to these brokers.

7. These people are spreading propaganda in Jharkhand regarding Sarna Dharma Code and separating the tribals from Hindus by not calling them Hindus and for that they are demanding Sarna Dharma Code. Christian missionaries are taking advantage of this because after the introduction of this code, the tribals will not consider themselves Hindu and it will be easy to convert them.Activities Sarna Dharma Code

Also, They are pressurizing the government to conduct a caste-based census in the country. These people are doing this because they have to find out who and how many people are in which castes to divide them easily.

 

8. These people are trying to form a national organization for Munda tribals.[PIC 4]

 

9. Prem Shahi made fun of Hindus by saying that tribals are not descendants of those who believe in monkeys as gods, this also shows that these people want to assert that tribals are not Hindus.[PIC 5]
