RANCHI: Nagri activists have started making efforts to take the fight for land rights to a new platform. Tribal writers and activists have compiled the Nagri land row in a book which was released here on Sunday by Mandar MLA Bandhu tirkey. The 160-page book titled "Nagri ka nagara" is dedicated to three tribal villagers Mundri Oraon, Dahsmi Kerketta and Poko Tirkey, who died because of heat stroke while they were sitting on the disputed plot on a sit-in in May.

The book throws light on the backdrop of Nagri movement and the reason because of which tribals are up in arms against the forceful land eviction. Editor of the book, Gladson Dungdung, said in case of conflict between basic laws and special laws of a region the supremacy of special laws are accepted by the apex court. "In this matter, the high court and the state government are considering the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 but is not ready to understand the fact that Ranchi comes under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution where Chotanagpur Tenancy Act is applicable as a special law," he said. Describing the book, as a documentation of events that unfolded since the agitation began, Dungdung said the role of political parties had been dubious and have been highlighted in the book.

Social activist Kislaya said the book would help intelligentsia to develop some understanding about the tribal plight. "There is a disconnect within the society where the so called well educated society are blind supporters of the people in power and reject common logic when the issues are related to tribals or deprived section of the society," he said.

A series of books have been published in Jharkhand during different movements and have been effective in shaping the outlook of general people towards the cause of fight

. Human rights activists Stain Swami said apart from mobilizing mass opinion the villagers must be provided with cheap and quality legal aid so that they may pray their case before the courts.

"We are roping in some learned advocates to file a fresh case to prove that Ranchi comes under Schedule 5 of the Indian constitution where land rights can be transferred only by the consent of tribal advisory council and approval of governor," he said.

Tirkey who has been leading the Nagri movement from the front said that the book exposes role of tribal leaders who came to the agitation spot but remained quiet in the assembly. "People should know their leaders role and stand and the book is a great tool to expose the leaders who tried gaining mileage out of the land row and distanced themselves at the hour of need," he said.
