Rasheduzzaman Rashed: Humans are the animals of the Cordata episode.  Cordata may have stood up straight because it had the spine of the episode.  As a result of thousands of years of struggle, human beings are advanced animals in the animal kingdom.  But sadly the adivasis do not get a taste of improved living.  In the capitalist society, one class of people earns money through labor, that is, they are working people.  Another class of people who steal the labor of the workers and build a mountain of capital.  That is, they are the polite babu of the society.  Society is controlled by a few exploiters.  What is the relationship between the exploited class and the exploiting class in capitalist society?  Recently, I went to the tribal area of ​​Nenglapir village in Bhadsa union of Joypurhat district headquarters to have a backyard meeting with the district BSD leader and former principal comrade Wazed Parvez in the afternoon.  Indigenous women leader Sundari Oran is also sitting in the yard.  Suddenly, his worn-out body fell down, he tied a towel tightly around his lungi and waist, walked slowly and stood for five minutes.  Then he said, "Sir, will you give me a blanket? I am in a very difficult winter in Kankan."  He sat down talking about such helplessness.  He did not get winter clothes from the local people`s representatives during the winter.  The whole body trembles as the cold air enters the dilapidated hut in the cold winter.  The relation of nature with man is on the battlefield and the relation of the exploited by the rulers is also on the battlefield.

 People have come to globalize this digitalization by fighting with nature.  People made new beginnings by cutting down trees, houses and hills, building road ghats or dams on rivers.  However, based on the naturalist Darwin`s theory of `survival of the fittest`, it can be said that all animals that have been able to fight or struggle with nature or their species have survived on earth.  And as a fighting nation, the indigenous people have survived in return for their struggle.  Although everyone`s fortunes have changed, their situation is now limited to zoom farming.

 Because their human, social, economic, political, physical and natural resources are at the bottom of the pyramid of the capitalist state system.  30 to 35 crore people in 90 countries of the world are indigenous.  Disenfranchised indigenous peoples from all over the world took to the streets to demand their rights.  During the Corona period, people of minority nationalities are again plagued with various problems.  Many of them have lost their jobs.  You have become poor again.  They are suffering from unemployment problem.

About 1.5 million people of 36 indigenous peoples live in different districts of Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions.  Among them Santal, Orao, Munda, Mahato, Malo, Bhunjar, Mahali, Mushar, Turi, Koch, Lohar etc. are notable.  Located in the most marginal and remote areas and their health protection is fragile.  Many die without treatment because of the lack of proper treatment in the commercialized medical system.  They are being forced to give in to the education system which has turned into a commodity, depriving their children of education because their main occupation is day labor in people`s homes and those whose livelihood depends on daily wage money.  They work 3 days a week.  And the remaining 4 days without work sit.  He gets paid 300 rupees for working every day.  If we do it at the end of the month as an average, it will be seen that a person`s monthly income is 4 thousand rupees.  As a result, with this money, the daily market expenses, medical expenses, the cost of religious ceremonies, the cost of education, the cost of repairing the house due to natural calamities, the cost of child marriage ceremony etc. all depend on labor for living.  Due to which they are more deprived of education and treatment.  As a result, in reality, they want a lot, but due to lack of money, the dream is just a dream.

 90% of the people of these nationalities are landless.  In our country, they have become jobless in the lockdown situation.  Indigenous people are also facing food crisis in these areas by taking high interest loans from moneylenders.  Our constitution states that the main fundamental responsibility of the state is to free the backward people from their exploitation.  Many problems can be solved if the state fulfills its responsibilities properly.  But has the state been able to ensure their basic rights even after fifty years of independence?  Indigenous peoples are on the verge of losing their traditional diversity of traditional way of life, customs, religions, festivals, practices, etc., because they are constantly being ridiculed, discriminated against and hated by the majority in the society.  Indigenous people of the plains are being made proletarians through land grabbing.  The land ownership of the plains aborigines is determined by the conventional land registration policy.  Documents, pamphlets, names are all applicable  But they are also being ousted strategically.  How long will this process last?  Equal rights under the law Every citizen of the state has the right to bring under the law those who are evicting them through forged documents, coercion, fear and deception.  Other necessary steps, including financial assistance, need to be taken to ensure that students from poor and marginalized groups do not drop out of their educational activities.  Lack of income has led to a shortage of resources, with NGOs and moneylenders being harassed in the name of collecting loan installments.  They are worried about their lives.  It is the responsibility of the state to ensure food, cash, health care and medical care for the people of nationalities in the hills and plains.  In the capitalist state system, we have to give a chance to get out of the threshing floor of inequality.  Everyone has the right to live as the people of the state and we are all human beings.  As a result, our relationship should be humane.  The epidemic is coming to the world and is proving that the epidemic is not only for the poor but also for the rich.  It cannot be that the rich will get treatment for money but the poor will not get that opportunity.  The state needs to ensure fundamental rights.
