Ground Report From Bengal: The Story Of How A Large Tribal Pocket Bordering Bangladesh Turned From Red To Saffron

by Jaideep Mazumdar - Apr 23, 2021 10:01 AM Joyel Murmu campaigning in Habibpur. (Twitter) Snapshot The BJP started making inroads in Habibpur in the 1990s when the Scheduled Castes were the first to turn saffron. For nearly seven decades, more than 1 lakh tribals of Habibpur Assembly segment in Bengal’s Malda district have been waiting for the promise of ‘liberation’ to come true. ‘Liberation’ from poverty, hunger, disease, unemployment, illiteracy and backwardness. This is the ‘liberation’ that the communists had been promising them for the past 70 years. Far from this Left promise from coming true, the condition of the tribals have only deteriorated. So much so that an overwhelming majority of the able-bodied among them have to migrate to other states in search of employment as labourers.
