Speaker Gupta calls for greater recognition of tribal heritage

Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Saturday said tribal histories are not peripheral to India’s story; they are integral to its civilisational journey.

Speaker Gupta, who was attending a national seminar on ‘Bhagwan Shri Birsa Munda’ at the India International Centre, called for greater recognition of tribal heritage.

“Bhagwan Shri Birsa Munda occupies a unique and inspiring place in India’s history. He was not merely a freedom fighter but a symbol of self-respect, cultural identity and social awakening. His legacy reminds us that the protection of rights and the preservation of culture are inseparable,” Gupta said.
