Dear Friends,
In his famous speech Bush once said, "There is no room for neutrality
in the war against terrorism; you're either with use or against us in
the fight against terror". The Koraput police has taken a leaf from
the Bush theory and implementing the same principle with the tribal in
Narayanapatna. It is reported that the police administration is
coercing the poor and terrified tribal to testify before the police
about their loyalty and say "either they are with them or against
them". Tribal men, women and young people thronging in large number
to Narayanapatna police station to give their written commitment
guarantying tribal support, cooperation and loyalty for the cause of
the police. In return, it seems, the police ensuring the villager full
protection, treatment and freedom from arrest and harassment.
Till recently the tribal broke their long culture of silence and have
started asserting their voice through a collective process. The
administration doesn't want the tribal to demand, argue and remain
silence for ever as they were before. The coercion tactics is nothing
but making the tribal submissive to the system prescribed by landlord,
business mafia, police and administration.
I am afraid; the same strategy may leads to reinforcement of Salwa
Judum kind of oppressive strategy in Koraput district.
Regards
Daniel
