"The people are being made to live in hell"

Surender Oraon, an Oraon Adivasi [Indigenous] leader, speaks in front of the Magadh mine, which has devastated his community in Jharkhand, central India. Surender describes how coal mining not only impacts and destroys his community but has appalling consequences for all of humanity.

Adivasi people across India are in danger of being displaced and having their lives destroyed under Prime Minister Modi’s plans to massively expand coal mining in the country – particularly on Adivasi land. Surender explains why we all need to urgently support the Adivasi peoples’ courageous resistance against these mines.

#TribalVoice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies.

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed.

Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved: https://svlint.org/TribalVoice
