NATIONAL ADIVASI ALLIANCE Cordially invites you to the

PUBLIC MEETING AND LAUNCH OF
‘FOREST, EARTH, WATER, SKY’,
A PUBLICATION ON THE STATUS OF ADIVASI POPULATIONS OF INDIA

VENUE : SCM House, Mission Compound, Bangalore

DATE & TIME: Sunday, the 12th October 2014 at 5.30 pm

Dear friends,

The indigenous people world over have been observing the 12th of October as a day of disaster for their communities. It was this day, 522 years ago, Christopher Columbus ‘discovered’ the Americas; setting forth the systematic genocide and colonization of the indigenous people by the European settlers. In his own words, “Following the light of the sun, we left the old world” – Christopher Columbus

The Indian sub-continent underwent an identical situation even 5000 years ago, wherein the migrant and colonial invaders from different parts of the world have virtually plundered away the wealth of the original inhabitants, deranged their cultural heritage deprived them of their basic human rights; thus relegating them to the bottom of the society.

Though they form 10% of India’s population, the Adivasies are left to suffer the ignominy of being embodiment of high incidence of poverty, morbidity, mortality, displacement, indignity and state-sponsored violence. They are deemed invisible, walked over and crushed by the rest of India.

On the occasion of ‘Columbus Day’ we invite all of you to the launch of the book “Forest, Earth, Water, Sky”, edited by Satya Sagar, writer / activist. Impregnated with enormous official data and statistics it throws open to the world, the socio-cultural and economic realities of the Adivasi population of our country. Besides, the editor, the Adivasi leaders will also participate in the meeting.

At the august occasion of the release of the book and the public meeting, you are cordially invited with your families and friends
