Adivasi Self-Determination Movement

The Adivasi Self-Determination Movement advocates for indigenous communities in India to have greater control over their lands, resources, and cultural identity. Adivasis, or indigenous peoples, seek recognition of their rights and autonomy to preserve their traditional ways of life while participating in decision-making processes that affect them. This movement challenges policies that marginalize or exploit their communities, emphasizing respect for their unique heritage and sovereignty. Ultimately, it aims to empower Adivasis to determine their social, economic, and political future independently, fostering dignity, sustainable development, and cultural preservation.
