News India Live, Digital Desk: The demand for giving Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to the Kurmi community in Jharkhand has been going on for a long time, but now this issue has become heated. A big public movement has arisen in the state against this demand. Thousands of people from the tribal community have come out on the streets and have strongly protested against the demand of giving ST status to the Kurmi caste. This seems to be bringing a new turn in the social and political situation of Jharkhand.

Tribal communities say that if Kurmi caste is given ST status, it will violate their rights. They are considering it as a threat to their cultural identity and reserved seats. He showed his strength by taking out a big rally in Ranchi, in which many tribal organizations and community leaders participated. These organizations have made it clear that they will not accept this demand of the Kurmi community at any cost.

This protest has posed a big challenge for both the state government and the central government. On one hand the Kurmi community is fighting for its rights, while on the other hand the tribal community is struggling to protect its identity and existence. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how the government handles this complex issue and what solution comes out of it. In the coming time, this issue may create more heat in the politics of Jharkhand. This issue is not limited to the demand of just one caste, but is linked to the larger question of tribal rights, identity and reservation.
