On the website it offers templates to write letters to the Indian Ministry for environment, your Indian Embassy, MPs, MEPs and also, importantly, Vedanta. Alternatively आप can write your own letter. I am asking for just 10 मिनटों of your time to watch the video, maybe post it to a फेसबुक account, tell a friend, raise awareness या take action. The video clip is very powerful and taking action is simple- simply print of and sign a letter. पोस्टेड एक साल  से अधिक पुराना

A short film (just 10 मिनटों long) has been made about the Dongria Kondh people and Vedanta, which explains the situation far better than words alone, and is free to watch at www.survivalinternational.org/films/mine . Survival International is a pressure group to safeguard the rights of tribal people worldwide.

The Dongria and neighbouring Kondh tribes are determined to protect their sacred mountain. They have held roadblocks, human chains and countless protests and demonstrations against Vedanta. This can only be effective to a certain point, urgent action is needed and the और voices that speak out against this violation of human and environmental justice, the और powerful the message will be.

But no ‘development’ या ‘compensation’ package could cure the problems that mining Niyamgiri will cause: the destruction of a unique environment and culture. The Dongria have accused Vedanta of ‘trying to flood us out with money’ and have made it clear that:

‘Mining only makes profit for the rich. We will become beggars if the company destroys our mountain and our forest so that they can make money. We don’t want the mine या any help at all from the company.’

Although Vedanta has failed to get all the necessary clearances within the prescribed 5-year period ( and that under Indian law all clearances for the project are therefore void and the Indian ministry should revoke them) India’s Supreme Court recently approved the project, and mining could begin in a matter of months. One of the Court’s conditions is that some of the mine’s profits are put towards ‘tribal development’.

To the Dongria, Niyam Dongar पहाड़ी, हिल is the सीट of their God, Niyam Raja. To Vedanta it is a $2 billion deposit of bauxite. The Dongria are simply obstacles to be manipulated. Profit over people?

There are over 8,000 members of the Dongria tribe and they are a mountain people, growing crops and gather fruit, completely self-sufficient and reliant on the mountain on which they live They call themselves Jharnia, meaning ‘protector of streams’ because they protect their sacred mountain and the life-giving rivers that rise within its thick forests.

The Dongria have not been consulted about the mine. They are adamantly opposed to its construction and workings, which will destroy the forests, disrupt the rivers and spell the end of the Dongria Kondh’s identity as a distinct people. Vedanta’s mine is fast becoming one of the most controversial mining project in the world.

Dongria Kondh- Profit over people?THE REAL अवतार TRIBE.

This is an urgent call for help, and I ask only for a few मिनटों of your time reading.

In Orissa, a region of Eastern India, the future of a whole people, the Dongria Kondh, is about to disappear. The plans of a British based company, Vedanta, are set to mine the sacred mountain that the Dongria call घर for a mineral called bauxite. If आप have seen the film Avatar, the plight of the Dongria people shares striking parallels.

अवतार is an innovation of an invention. It takes a concept and puts an entirely new spin on it, a new story. अवतार took me on an incredible ride on Pandora, even और impressive and immersive in IMAX 3D. With many of its underlying themes, it makes आप feel for the Pandorian life and what happens to them. This movie actually made me look at life at a different perspective, on how I treat the environment and how other people treat it as well. If a movie could do that, that's a win in my book. पोस्टेड एक साल  से अधिक पुराना

अवतार is decent, but it was a way way to overhyped. It only hit it big because Cameron didn't take any risks and just gave everyone including the brainless movie goer the same over done story that is simple to understand. The 3D was awesome, but didn't really add to the story. पोस्टेड एक साल  से अधिक पुराना
