Bhopal, 15 November (HS). Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the right to water, forest and land is the basic right of the tribal society. The British wanted to snatch it from them. Lord Birsa Munda raised the tribal society against the atrocities and malpractices of the British and fought against the British at two levels. On one hand he protected the fundamental rights of the tribal society and on the other hand he destroyed the evil efforts of Christian missionaries to convert our tribal brothers into Christians by tampering with our religion. Today we remember and pay our heartfelt tribute to Lord Birsa Munda on his birth anniversary.
