Adivasis resolve not to work on Lambada farms

Hyderabad | Wednesday | 15th November, 2017

Summary:

more-inAdivasis not only have boycotted Lambada teachers but also decided not to work on their farms. As many as nine instances of Lambada teachers not being allowed in schools took place in KB Asifabad district. More significant however, is the boycott of the Lambada tribe locally which includes refusal to study under teachers belonging to the plains tribe. The villagers of Narsapur (B) passed a resolution cancelling lease of all lands being cultivated by Lambadas and vowing not to work on the fields of the plains tribe. The discord has its roots in the disparity in development, the ethnic people accusing the plains tribe of cornering all welfare schemes by unfair means..
