This short note was written by Fr Stan Swamy after the Jharkhand authorities filed a case of sedition against him for supporting the Adivasi Pathalgadi movement in July 2018. The charges, registered under the BJP regime, were eventually revoked after the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha led by Hemant Soren came to power. The note was originally published on July 31, 2018 and was republished on July 5, 2021 in light of Swamy’s death while in custody in connection with the Elgar Parishad case.
