Hello,
Mine lord Vedanta & others, I strongly oppose mining in biologically and cultural sensitive areas, No tribe should be affected, should not do mining activity in tribal and historically important places. I strongly oppose the one who pollute the ethnic culture of the tribes. even i strongly oppose the modern missionaries who convert tribe and their culture. I wish, tribe people’s culture, religion, life-style,economic system and totally their Kingdom should protected and beauty of the culture maintained.
but today, tribal are most disturbed people in the earth, the mine lords and politicians as well as modern missionaries are disturbing their life and culture.recent days tribes are targeted by Maoist OR islamic terrorist in the name of betterment of the tribe/ tribal society. non of them are protecting their culture,but destroying them.
In all part of the world, be it Latin American or Afro-Asian, whole tribes are destroyed by so called modern thinker, modern religions,modern industrialist.
their cultural beauty is sidelined, their faith,god,craft,clothing,food style and festivals everything is changed forcefully by above said modern-people.
slowly tribes are disappearing, tribes are divided by Modern ppl, they loose their ethnicity, identity, in the name of betterment of their life, said peoples are making them to wear pant and shirt, they start migrating towards City, these migration made them to suffer for one meal a day!, this make them homeless,jobless even identity also lost. no document they have it,as to prove that they are the citizen of the state.! they have to live forcefully in the Urban slum.

finally they become- "Urban Poor" dwelling in the sub-urban OR railway Slum"

Your people may number few, but your concerns are as valid as those of the largest communities on the planet. It is a mark of the rightness of your cause that you have won your recent battle. I hope that Vedanta and other corporations like it will in future be more respectful of you and other tribes which may be threatened.

History tends to look unkindly on examples of industrial powers infringing on the livelihood of indigenous peoples. Is short-term economic gain worth the enmity of future generations?

There is bauxite ALL OVER THE WORLD. Why do you choose to destroy a pristine mountain with a small, unique, irreplaceable culture? It’s obviously not because there’s a shortage of bauxite. Welcome to the hate list of me and all my friends on Facebook. :-|
