Dr. Abhat Xaxa died of suddenly of a heart attack in March 2020. A famous poem her wrote tells much about him, his work, and his vision: I am not your data, nor am I your vote bank, I am not your project, or any exotic museum project, I am not the soul waiting to be harvested, Nor am I the lab where your theories are tested. I am not your cannon fodder, or the invisible worker, Or your entertainment at India habitat center, I am not your field, your crowd, your history, your help, your guilt, medallions of your victory. I refuse, reject, resist your labels, your judgments, documents, definitions, your models, leaders and patrons, because they deny me my existence, my vision, my space. Your words, maps, figures, indicators, they all create illusions and put you on a pedestal from where you look down upon me. So I draw my own picture, and invent my own grammar, I make my own tools to fight my own battle, For me, my people, my world, and my Adivasi self!
It has come to our attention that Dr. Abhay Xaxa passed away suddenly in March, a tremendous loss for minority rights in India and around the world. Learn more about his work and life here: caravanmagazine.in/communities/remembering-abhay-xaxa-whose-death-is-a-loss-to-adivasi-movements.
May I ask a question? What makes this language indigenous to India (and other languages like Hindi and Punjabi, not native)? Are there indigenous Indian people who have lived on the land for much longer than other peoples?
This man was an Adivasi, a catch-all name for groups who are believed to be descended from the Indus Valley Civilization and the original hunter-gatherer inhabitants of the subcontinent. Hindi and Punjabi are modern Indo-European languages derived from Sanskrit, just as French and Italian are derived from Latin. The speakers of Sanskrit were closely related to the future Persians and migrated into India from the Eurasian steppe sometime around 1,500 B.C., it was the Sanskrit speakers who composed the Rig Vedas and developed Hinduism. So yes, the Adivasis have been in the Subcontinent longer than the other inhabitants of India, and have often been marginalized by the Hindus and Muslims, but whether you want to say they are more "indigenous" than the Hindus is debatable as humans are not truly native to any region outside of Africa and the over 3,000 years of continuous inhabitation in India by the Hindus is a REALLY long time by anyone's standards.
Andrew K. Hinduism is a mix of the indo European and native dravidian religions. Since India has had thousands of migrations and invasions from across the world, the first of all of them are called adivasi, probably descended from the first people out of Africa to come to India.
"Indigenous" when applied to peoples outside of the Americas or Australia usually refers more to a lifestyle and economic/social status rather than being the "native people". Even though that's technically the definition. For example the Saami people. Norwegians Swedes and Finns are also "native" but they don't live off the land like the Saami did not very long ago, they are Christian, and they have their own countries.
@@andrewk.5575 Hinduism is too complex to say that it comes either from the Aryans or from the "Indus Valley Civilization". In truth it seems to have come from a merger of both, an Aryan superstrate and a strong "indigenous" substrate. Same thing with genetics and language more or less. For example the Shakta tradition of Hinduism (main form in Bengal and Assam) is thought to be non-Aryan in origin.
You’re just saying things. It sounds like a mix of Dravidian languages with Indo-Aryan languages. He began the video saying his name “naam he” and then said “en,” which is Tamil for “my”
Actually similar to south Indian languages , Tamil 'pu' and kurukh ' pup' both means 'flower' . Similarly Tamil 'nelai' and kurukh 'nela' both means 'tomorrow' ...............So it's similar to South Indian .
@ArmanAditya Basu listen Difference in some of dravidian languages Tamil pu Kannada hu Telugu pou Malyalam I donoo Kurkh poop 😂. I donoo Basically in south india If one language use pa means then other use ha .... Pulling Hulling Like that

I am oraon and this video made me so happy
The tribal languages of India are so interesting!
traditional*!
Interesting presence of the voiceless velar fricative in a Dravidian language! Thanks for sharing. God bless
Toda as well as brahui also has voiceless velar fricative .
this is a dravidian language originally but it got highly influenced by Indo-Aryan and Munda languages
I belong to this Tribe !! People say we belong to the Northern Dravidian Branch Langauges .
Thank you for sharing your beautiful language, love from a Telugu
THANK YOU BOTH!!!
It feels really good to hear our mother tongue once again in TH-cam 😃😃😃

Connor Murphy yes that’s true for India too. Many adivasi/indigenous still mainly live off the land in their traditional ways

SHIVA BLESS INDIA!
One of the Interesting Language "The Kudukhx"
Language lover
kahani is "khiri" in kurukh
Wait is he actually speaking that language? Why do the subtitles say Indonesian?
Isn’t Kurukh a Dravidian language?
Yes, it's one of the Dravidian languages.
Lots of Sanskrit influence …
@@bobbob-s3l because they are Surrounded by the Indo-European peoples.
Yes it is Dipanjan Paul
@@wwtt-worldwidetourtravelin4550 bruh
In Tamil Language "Yesterday" is Said "Nerru"- and in Kudukh it is "Cherro".
In Tamil "Tomorrow" is Said "Nallai"- and in Kudukhx it is Said "Neyla".
All Dravidian languages have minor similarities
Indigenous
Yes since India has had thousands of migrations from across the world, the first inhabitants like him are called adivasi (indigenous)
Adivasi
Murukh dao laggiya 🙌
Kurukh
खीरी अकाई daw राई
Beautiful!
For me it's so interesting because sometimes sounds a bit like Chinese languages but at some other points sounds like Greek.
You’re just saying things. It sounds like a mix of Dravidian languages with Indo-Aryan languages. He began the video saying his name “naam he” and then said “en,” which is Tamil for “my”
@@miguellgeorge9869 yup it sounds south indian with a mix of bengali and chattisgarhi and bhojpuri
Your accent is sounds like a mixed version of kunha and oram
Sounds more like Bengali than anything Dravidian
Actually similar to south Indian languages , Tamil 'pu' and kurukh ' pup' both means 'flower' . Similarly Tamil 'nelai' and kurukh 'nela' both means 'tomorrow' ...............So it's similar to South Indian .
