InSAF India invites you to join session 10 of the series: Deadline or Death Sentence: State Violence and Indigenous (Adivasi) People’s Resistance in India. This series critically interrogates the Indian state’s 2026 “Maoist-free” deadline and its violent consequences for Indigenous lives and livelihoods. 

Our speakers will discuss how the escalated militarization and entry of extractive industries, and aggressive Hinduization have impacted the traditional socio-cultural fabric of Adivasi life, and their long-standing sustainable economic practices; and how Adivasis continue to resist the systematic attempts to displace and dispossess them and extinguish their existential connection with their jal, jangal, and jameen [water, land and forests].
