Although various tribes have made significant contribution to the freedom struggle, the role played by the tribal communities has remained ignored in the country’s history, MLC and State Secretary of Vanavasi Kalyana Ashram Shantaram Siddi has said.
He was addressing students at a one-day conference on “Tribal Heroes- Contribution in the Freedom Struggle” organised by Gulbarga University in association with National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) and Akhil Bharatiya Vanvasi Kalyana Ashram on the university campus in Kalaburagi on Friday.
Mr. Siddi reiterated that tribal people showed their heroism by sacrificing their lives in the Independence movement and it is the responsibility of Indians, particularly the present generation, to make themselves aware of their struggles that are missing from the pages of history.
