BISRA MUNDA PUNYA TITHI: REMEMBERING TRIBAL FREEDOM FIGHTER AND REFORMIST


 BIO-NOTE  ON BISRA MUNDA 

The tribal reformist and freedom fighter Birsa Munda (1875–1900) passed away in Ranchi Central Jail on June 9, 1900, at the young age of 25. He is known as Dharti Abba (Father of the Earth) and his death anniversary is commemorated as a day of martyrdom and tribal pride across India. He had championed the slogan “Abua Raj Ete Jana, Maharani Raj Tundu Jana.” 

According to Bisra Munda, true freedom is autonomous tribal self-rule. Tribals have sovereign rights  on Jal -water, Jangal -forests, and Jameen -land. They are inalienable foundation of indigenous existence, cultural dignity and self-reliance. None can take away their Land and Resource Rights. Honour tribal community ownership over forests. Keep them free from external subjugation and exploitation. As a reformist, he had urged tribal people to abandon alcoholism, unite across diverse communities, and embrace clean, hygienic living.

 INSPIRED COUPLETS 

Our own wise rule, the tribal way,
Is freedom's heart, come what may.

For water, forest, earth so grand,
Are sovereign rights in tribal hand.

These gifts of nature, deep and true,
Our life, our culture, ever new.

No power can these rights erase,
Our land, our life, in this sacred space.

From ancient forests, we decree,
Community ownership, wild and free.

From looters’ hands, we stand apart,
No chains to bind, no broken heart.

Ode to Visual Art of Indian iconic Photographer Raghu Rai   Note: Raghu Rai (18 Dec 1942 – 26 Apr 2026), a noted Indian photographer and photojournalist, had been widely regarded as a pioneer of candid photograpy and  photojournalism in India.   ODE   Oh Raghu Rai, your lens so true, A world of India, seen anew. Not staged or planned, your shots ignite, But from the heart, a pure delight.   No fake pretense, no painted scene, Just life itself, a vivid dream. Your camera's eye, a honest friend, Revealing truths that never end.   From crowded streets to quiet lands, You hold our stories in your hands. A master's touch, a spirit bright, Oh, Raghu Rai, you fill with light.   The lens you held, a nation's gaze, Through your sharp eye, we saw our days. No book could teach the art you knew, But doing, viewing, saw you through.   Your vision caught what lay unseen, The magic held, the in-between. You showed the soul, the hidden grace, Reflected in each ti...
