The Civilisational Importance Of Draupadi Murmu Becoming India's ... (Swarajya)

Rather than focussing on ranking communities on a 'scale of civilisation', Hindu culture asks for equal empathy towards all.

As you are no doubt aware, Swarajya is a media product that is directly dependent on support from its readers in the form of subscriptions. This is aimed at removing a century-and-a-half-old narrative of the 'tribal non-tribal' divide. As a result, the Santhal rebellion that happened in 1855 happened to be led by Sidhu Murmu and Kanu Murmu. It is in this context that one has to see the BJP-led NDA announcing Draupadi Murmu as its Presidential candidate. But all the king's elephants and all the king's men could not pull it to the shore. The tree trunk with the sacred conch symbol naturally formed on it was floating. Unfortunately, this has been ignore by not just Western ‘scholars’ studying India but by Indian students of history and culture themselves, through indoctrinated Western concepts. But the king himself was depressed. It was a dearly guarded secret for the community, which only its leader, Viswavasu, knew. He had to free the tribal chieftain Vishwavasu and they both should together pull the tree trunk to the shore. Again, the king was depressed and again he heard the divine voice, telling him that he could not accomplish it with his army and power. Angry, the king jailed Viswavasu.

As BJP-led NDA names tribal leader Draupadi Murmu their ... (OpIndia)

The Indian Left could not hide its contempt for tribal leader Draupadi Murmu, casting aspersions on her integrity | OpIndia News.

Droupadi Murmu, a self-made individual with a politics of her own, is reaching the highest office in the country only while being in the BJP for long years. Many individuals on Twitter conflated this with the tenure of APJ Abdul Kalam and Ram Nath Kovind. Going further, another Twitter user wrote that it is ‘unfortunate’ that India’s first tribal president is the choice of a ‘conservative’ party. However, behind judgments that might suit one’s own politics, lies the story of a self-made woman, who is all set to occupy the highest position of the republic. But for the self-proclaimed supporters of Ambedkar and custodians of caste identity politics, she was just a ‘Sanghi’ who deserved their contempt and scorn. A tribal leader from Odisha, Murmu has held several key positions throughout her illustrious political career, including the post of Jharkhand Governor which she served from 2015 to 2021.
