How do factory schools wipe out Adivasi identity? Ft. Nicolas Barla Pt.1
The identity and belief systems are taught to Adivasi children by their family members and community. But when these children go to schools, they are made to believe that their belief systems and religions are “non-civilized“. This is a recording of the third and final Instagram live held on 17th May. Having traveled to Canada and met with survivors of assimilationist schooling system, Nicolas Barla shares how the Indian education system must be more sensitive towards the Adivasi communities, otherwise there is a fear of losing the identity and culture of India’s indigenous communities.
