महान क्रांतिकारी बुधु भगत की जयंती पर शत्-शत् नमन।
17 फरवरी 1792 को सिलागांई गांव में जन्मे बुधु भगत ने Kol Rebellion और Larka Movement की अगुवाई करते हुए जल, जंगल और जमीन की रक्षा के लिए संघर्ष किया।
उन्होंने आदिवासी समुदायों में एकता, साहस और स्वाभिमान की लौ जगाई, ताकि लोग अपनी भूमि और स्वतंत्रता के लिए संगठित होकर लड़ सकें।
उनका जीवन हमें याद दिलाता है कि अधिकार कभी दिए नहीं जाते — उन्हें संघर्ष से हासिल किया जाता है।
क्रांति के उस अमर नायक को नमन। ✊🌿

Warm wishes on the vibrant festival of Oriah 🌾
Celebrated by the Wancho community of Arunachal Pradesh after the completion of jhum cultivation, Oriah marks a beautiful pause after hard work — from Ozok rituals, clearing and burning of fields, to the sowing of seeds.
It is a time of rest, gratitude, and thanksgiving. Rice beer Ju is offered to the almighty Jowan for a bountiful harvest and the well-being of the entire community. The sacred bamboo post, Zangvaan, erected at Zangvaan Tong, stands tall as a symbol of Wancho culture, faith, unity, and prosperity.
May this Oriah bring abundant harvests, strength, and collective happiness to every home. 🌿

The soil of Jharkhand still echoes his name.
Budhu Bhagat was not just a leader he was a movement. A fearless tribal warrior who led the Kol Rebellion and the Larka Rebellion against brutal British oppression.
From the villages of Tiko and Silagai, he united Adivasi communities and inspired them to rise for their jal, jangal, zameen and dignity. His resistance was not powered by weapons alone, but by courage, unity, and an unbreakable connection to the land.
Even after witnessing the sacrifice of his own sons, daughters, and hundreds of followers, he refused to surrender. He chose resistance over submission.
In 1832, he attained martyrdom but legends don’t die.
They become the heartbeat of the land they fought for.

वीर गुंडाधुर को नमन!
भूमकाल विद्रोह (1910) के महान नायक, जिन्होंने जल–जंगल–ज़मीन की रक्षा के लिए बस्तर के आदिवासियों को संगठित किया और अंग्रेज़ी शासन को चुनौती दी। उनका साहस, संघर्ष और बलिदान आज भी हमें अन्याय के ख़िलाफ़ खड़े होने की प्रेरणा देता है।
