Tribals have remained traditionally loyal to Congress party. In they last 10 years BJP has mad dents in the tribal base by instigating Hindu religious sentiments. The net result is that tribals have been cheated and stabbed in the back by both these parties dominated by upper caste people. Tribals have become just a vote bank in the hands of Congress and BJP. AASA has decided rightly to ban entry of political leaders of the present breed. In my opinion, tribals must come out from Congress and BJP as well as other political parties and stand of their own. Other parties will use them for votes but turn their back on the tribal matters. IT is High time the TRIBAL STUDENTS stand of their own on politics and the community especially must support them to start a self reliant new political path. Remember it is the youths who are the future guardians of the society. The elders have already damaged the society by sticking to Congress and later BJP who in the name of industry and mainstream, pushed the tribal community in the verge of losing their ancestor lands, customs, language although the Constitution of India provides protection on these matters. Baba Ambedkar fought to incorporate these provisions in the constitution as he could foresee that upper caste people will not allow the adivasi, dalits, OBC people to rise at par with upper caste. The killings of adivasis is the proof. In other parts dalits and OBC people are always tortured like adivasis. Let us unite. New breed of politicians must be produced by discarding BJP,CONGRESS and other political parties who downplay SC, ST, OBC interests.
