India’s tribal people recalled the long struggles to preserve their indigenous identity, culture and land while pledging to continue them on the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. The sacrifice made by late Jesuit priest Stan Swamy for the cause of “jal, jangal and jamin” (water, forest and land) was remembered by Father Irudhaya Jothi, director of Xavier Institute for Development Education in Tripura at a gathering of tribal people in the northeastern state.
