"Jal, Jangal, Jamin" Slogan in Indian Tribes

Abstract

In such a context, the sense-making of good quality lives are indistinguishable, and dominant development models are invisible the social and ecological consequences of seeing nature as a good to be produced. Most of the time they oppose the development of Indian economy's modern project in major tribal in their areas of the country.  Their main the slogan are “Jal, Jangal, Jamin” that signifies the opposing to colonial extraction system of natural resources from the tribal region and feudal land alienation. The slogan comes across as a kind of collective ancestral heritage. It represents an Adivasi epistemological perspective that is based on an ancestor way of feeling and making land, forests and water the lived and shared aspects of their being. The out-sider corporates conceptualising these elements as resources that can be bought, sold or go no end.

This view regards the removal of nature in the times of post- independence state. It is the unique economic instrumentalization of Nature and calls for the reciprocal stewardship, in which communities take up responsibility for their own environment. The persistence of the ancestral home territories is thus linked to collective identity of the tribes as well as their customary rule and ecological wellness. The primary slogan in this regard is “Jal, Jangal, Jamin”, translated as water, forest, agriculture. The primary slogan in this regard is “Jal, Jangal, Jamin” which means water, forest and agriculture, and which implies that land, water and forests are all evaluated as commodities. It instead validates an epistemology of interdependence, livelihoods and collective traditional knowledge based, which is Adivasi/ Tribal in nature. For this reason, the slogan is used as a conceptual framework to question about both the colonial and the feudal organisation whereas the slogan is based on the maintenance of nature. The enabled dispossession of the post-colonial idea’s that continue to development extractive natural resources without substantive tribal communities’ consent.
