Madam President: On Droupadi Murmu\u2019s election as India\u2019s 15th President<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The election of Droupadi Murmu should lead to more attention on the rights of tribespeople <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The election of Droupadi Murmu as India\u2019s 15th President is rich in symbolism (the use of symbols to represent things)<\/strong>. In the 75th year of the country\u2019s Independence, Ms. Murmu becomes the second woman to occupy the Rashtrapati Bhavan, and the first member of a tribal community to do so. Her membership of the Santhal tribe is in focus. She has risen through the ranks in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and has shown a mind of her own during her stint (An unbroken period of time during which you do something) <\/strong>as Governor of Jharkhand. Her election to the highest office of the country comes 101 years after two tribespeople were elected to legislative bodies in colonial (connected with or belonging to a country that controls another country (colony)) <\/strong>India. Founding figures of the Republic were acutely cognisant (having or showing knowledge or understanding or realization or perception) <\/strong>of the disadvantageous position of the tribespeople and made special provisions such as the Fifth and Sixth Schedules of the Constitution. Jaipal Singh Munda, sportsman and tribal leader, was a prominent member of the Constituent Assembly who forcefully articulated (Express or state clearly) <\/strong>the fears and hopes of tribespeople. In 2000, two States, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, were formed to give more focused attention to the concentrated tribal population in these regions. The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, was passed in 2006. Ms. Murmu\u2019s election is a milestone (A significant event in a project) <\/strong>in the journey of tribal empowerment, though she is by no means limited to her identity. It is a moment of pride for India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this is a moment of political triumph (A successful ending of a struggle or contest) <\/strong>over the Opposition. Paving the way (to make it easier for (something to happen or someone to do something)<\/strong> for a tribal woman to succeed a Dalit in the highest office, Mr. Modi has shown yet again his capacity to constantly script invigorating (Imparting strength and vitality) <\/strong>politics by gauging (Measure precisely) <\/strong>the political aspirations of marginalised communities and enlisting (Hire for work or assistance) <\/strong>them for Hindutva politics. Ms. Murmu\u2019s elevation has elated (Fill with high spirits) <\/strong>tribespeople across the country, and this could convert into significant electoral gains for the BJP in the coming days. Her candidacy split (Separate into parts or portions) <\/strong>the Opposition, as many members of the Shiv Sena and JMM supported her. Tribespeople have high expectations from Ms. Murmu\u2019s rise to the top, but that could be realised only if the Modi government backs up its symbolism with substance. This is the right moment to pay attention to the concerns that many tribal activists have been raising \u2014 of a systematic erosion (A gradual decline of something) <\/strong>of protections accorded to tribals, harassment and suppression by the police, and a general intolerance (Unwillingness to recognize and respect differences in opinions or beliefs) <\/strong>of the state towards tribal autonomy (political independence)<\/strong>. Ms. Murmu personally may have limited leeway <\/strong>in championing (If you champion a person, a cause, or a principle, you support or defend them) <\/strong>any political cause, but she has certainly become an inspiration for all disadvantaged sections of society \u2014 women, tribals and the poor in general. To make her election more meaningful, state policy too must bend towards justice and fairness to all. Ms. Murmu\u2019s election should not be used as a convenient excuse for inaction on countering the wider disempowerment of tribespeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
