The continuing repression unleashed on Adivasi and Dalit communities resisting bauxite mining in the Sijimali region of South Odisha marks a dangerous escalation in the criminalisation of democratic dissent in the country. What is unfolding in the villages of Rayagada and Kalahandi districts is not a routine ‘law and order’ exercise, but a systematic assault on democratic rights, constitutional protections and the very survival of indigenous communities. The State is targeting people defending their lands, forests, water sources, livelihoods and collective existence against destructive mining projects being pushed in the interests of large mining corporate entities.
