Mayurkola has been in the news since July 28. Speaking to reporters that day, Asha Lakra, a Bharatiya Janata Party politician and member of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes, listed it as one of the nine panchayats in Sahibganj where a total of ten Adivasi women elected representatives were married to “Bangladeshi infiltrators, Rohingya Muslims”.

While Lakra did not name any of the women, she did mention the posts they held – eight mukhiyas, including of Mayurkola, one panchayat samiti member and a zilla parishad chairperson.

Lakra was echoing what her party colleague and member of parliament, Nishikant Dubey, had said on the floor of the Lok Sabha. In his speech on July 25, Dubey had alleged that “Bangladeshi infiltrators” were marrying Adivasi women to grab their land and property, and to use them as proxies to gain power in the Santhal Pargana, the northeastern region of Jharkhand, traditionally home to the Santal Adivasi community. Dubey had claimed, without evidence, that 100 Adivasi women mukhiyas were married to Muslims.

His claims, meanwhile, echoed what Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said at a meeting of the BJP’s Jharkhand unit on July 20. Shah alleged that “thousands of infiltrators” were marrying Adivasi women to “obtain certificates and buy land”. Labelling this as “love jihad and land jihad”, the home minister claimed this was leading to changes in the demographic of the state.

Scroll travelled to Sahibganj to investigate the claims emanating from the highest rungs of India’s ruling party. Since Lakra was the only BJP leader who had cited specific evidence in support of her contentions, we used her list of nine panchayats as a starting point.

Scroll found that in four of the 10 cases, Lakra’s claims of Adivasi women being married to Muslim men were outright false. Three of the women had Adivasi husbands. The fourth, Kapra Tudu, had married outside the Adivasi community, but her husband, Nitin Saha, is Hindu, not Muslim.

In six cases, where Adivasi women panchayat leaders were indeed married to Muslims, all of them told us they had married out of choice. “The Indian constitution gives us the freedom to marry whom we please,” one of them said.

Lakra’s claim that the men who married these women had done so to take over their land rings hollow in light of the fact that none of the women had inherited any familial land.

Secure Jharkhand – The Indian Tribal

Though Jharkhand was a part of Bihar until 2000, many had seen a need for separate statehood even before Independence. The demand to separate the Chhotanagpur-Santhal Pargana belt was first made by Christian missionaries through a memorandum to the Simon Commission in 1928, which was turned down. “The church always supported a separate Jharkhand for better integrated growth of this area. We also approached the Simon Commission on this issue,” says Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas of Ranchi Archdiocese. Read more at https://theindiantribalnews.blogspot.com/2023/03/secure-jharkhand.html

Four years ago, a viral video showed Murmu falling at the feet of an Adani official, pleading as bulldozers destroyed her family’s crop. The works were the initial stage of the development of the 1600 MW Godda coal-power plant, the intended destination for coal from Adani's Carmichael mine in Australia.

On 22 June 2022, Murmu addressed an Adivasi convention at Godda. While she told the convention of the depravations she had faced at the hands of Adani, she also told the convention that ‘we Adivasis will all burn along with the coal if environmentally destructive projects are not stopped in our Santhal Parganas region. This is a wider struggle for all the Adivasis of our region.’

The Santhal Parganas region has a history of rebellion against those forces that seek to exploit, enslave or expropriate Adivasis – be they British colonialists, or the Indian government and Indian corporations in recent decades. Murmu joins a long heritage of Adivasi leaders from the region.
