| In recent years the Indian police have opened fire on unarmed people, mostly Dalit and Adivasi. |
| Activists and Adivasi leaders in India fear that the impacts of implementing carbon forestry would pose a great threat to indigenous communities. |
| For example, in India the Adivasi are assisted in their efforts to gain land ownership titles. |
| This has led to their dividing Adivasi communities in the name of religion and they have had some success in bringing them into the Hindu fold. |
| Despite vigorous police opposition, the Adivasi held out non-violently and managed to overcome innumerable obstacles. |
| Tirkey is only the second Adivasi player to lead the Indian hockey team, after Jaipal Singh led India in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. |
