In the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, tribal people from three separate parts of the state have joined forces to tackle Adani’s Godda coal-power station. The power plant will use coal imported by Adani from its Carmichael mine. The Godda power plant is impacting people’s lives in several far-flung locations.
An ancient way of life is threatened as coal mines destroy the forests of the Hasdeo Aranya, but the people are fighting back, taking control of local governments.
Recently, the Adani group unveiled a cross-cultural art installation titled ‘Gondwana’ – a work by Gond adivasi and Warlpiri indigenous artists from India and Australia at its Ahmedabad headquarters. Is this a bid to whitewash the damage being inflicted on adivasis in Chhattisgarh and indigenous peoples in Australia?
