TRIBALS IN COLONIAL PERIOD

PROBLEMS WITH NAXALISM AND MAOISM
•Due to the failure of Govt. and media
•Linguistic problem prevails between the Govt. and tribals
•They take refuge with the Naxalites and Maoists and this increases insurgency.

• Inform the tribals of their rights and policies meant for them
• Radio proves to be a boon since majority of tribal people cannot read news paper
• Tribal people are apprehensive towards non-tribal entering their ‘territory’ and influencing their lives but media is generally not disallowed
• So media can interact with these people and bring their problems to the forefront
HOW CAN MEDIA HELP IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT

“It was taken so swiftly when a news paper intervened. Surely then, it could also have been taken up oven an year ago, then the tribals themselves raised the issue. But our system is not responsive to the poor. Least of all to the adivasis and the harijans.”

• disinterested journalists
• no country for development journalism

SANJEEV SRIVASTAVASocial worker in Dantewada district
“What I saw in Dantewada at first was media houses like NDTV taking full interest in reporting what the government was doing for it’s adivasis. They contacted the authorities and conducted interviews of tribals and ngo workers.
When the State Government proposed a civil intervention and provided arms to the new found citizen army, it earned much appreciation from media as well. But as soon as the plan started backfiring and Salwa Judum proved itself equally unruly and fatal, they started to take their steps back.
The intention with which they had come (to cover the story of adivasis caught between the strangles of Naxalism and govt policies) was lost midway.”

MILES TO GO BEFORE WE SLEEP
• Inclusion of ICT for tribal development
• Channeling awareness campaigns in govt. media
• Media institutions should hold workshops which will sensitize students towards tribal issues
