"November 15 is the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda who is revered as Bhagwan by tribal communities across the country. He fought bravely against the exploitative system of the British colonial system and spearheaded the movement against British oppression giving a call for 'Ulgulan' (Revolution)," Thakur said. The declaration acknowledges the glorious history and cultural heritage of tribal communities and the day will be celebrated every year. It would recognize the efforts of the tribals for preservation of cultural heritage and promotion of Indian values of valour, hospitality and national pride. The government has planned week-long celebrations from November 15 to 22 to commemorate 75 years of the history of the tribal people, their culture and achievements. Several activities have been planned jointly with the state governments and the theme behind each activity is to showcase the unique tribal cultural heritage, their contributions to the freedom struggle, practices, rights, traditions, cuisines, health, education and livelihood. India's freedom struggle was strengthened by several movements by tribal communities such as Santhals, Tamars, Kols, Bhils, Khasis and Mizos to name a few. Tribal movements in different regions of the country against the British colonial rule got linked with the national freedom struggle and inspired Indians all over the country. However, the public at large is not much aware about these tribal heroes. Pursuant to the speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Independence Day in 2016, the Centre has sanctioned 10 tribal freedom fighter museums across the country.

Union Cabinet approves declaration of November 15 as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas

Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi" source="Orion">Narendra Modi</keyword> will inaugurate the year-long celebrations commemorating 200th birth anniversary of <keyword id="2764388" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maharshi-Dayanand-Saraswati" source="Orion">Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati</keyword>, at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, Delhi on February 12. The Prime Minister will also address the gathering on the occasion. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, born on February 12, 1824, was a social reformer who founded Arya Samaj in 1875 to counter then prevalent social inequities. Arya Samaj played a key role in cultural and social awakening of the country by its emphasis on social reforms and education. As per a statement issued by the Prime Minister's office (PMO), the government has been committed to celebrating the social reformers and important personalities, especially those whose contributions were not given their due yet on a pan-India scale. "From declaring the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas to participating in a programme commemorating Sri Aurobindo's 150th birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been leading such initiatives from the front," the PMO statement said.

Just last month he was sentenced for the fourth time to <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/fodder-scam-case-lalu-prasad-sentenced-to-14-yrs-in-prison/articleshow/63440143.cms">14 years in jail and fined </a>₹60,00,000. He has already been serving time in the Birsa Munda Jail in Ranchi since 23 December 2017. The scam that spiralled into a multi-million scandal began with the small-scale falsification of transactions related to syphoning of government funds in the name of buying livestock and supplying fodder. Basically, in the name of non-existent livestock, thousands and thousands of rupees worth of fake bills were made out to be paid to suppliers for fodder, medicines and animal husbandry equipment. What is to be noted that this practice was not exclusively created by Lalu Prasad and his party, but had been at the very core of the functioning of the Animal Husbandry Department (AHD) of Bihar since <a href="https://www.firstpost.com/politics/fodder-scam-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-21-year-old-case-against-lalu-prasad-yadav-3432192.html">20 years past</a>. The scam involved politicians and bureaucrats belonging to previous administrations for decades with Lalu Prasad perpetuating the practice. In 1985, comptroller and auditor general of India, TN Chaturvedi, found something amiss when he noticed that the Bihar treasury inevitably submitted their monthly accounts later than the due date. In January 1996, deputy commissioner of Chaibasa, Amit Khare, launched a raid at the Animal Husbandry Department where they discovered the documents confirming illegal withdrawals and uncovered a nexus between officials and suppliers. In March 1996, the Patna High court gets the CBI to look into the fodder scam and subsequently, the CBI registered an FIR in the Chaibasa (now in Jharkhand) Treasury case. In June-July 1997, a CBI enquiry in the case was launched based on a PIL filed by BJP state unit chief <keyword id="6364740" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="sushil-kumar-modi">Sushil Kumar Modi</keyword> in the Patna High Court. Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra were both named in this charge sheet along with 55 other co-accused. This led to Lalu’s relinquishing the Chief Minister seat in July to his wife - a political masterstroke. Lalu then surrendered before CBI court and was subsequently sent to judicial custody. After four months he was released on bail. In April 2001, Lalu Prasad’s wife, <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Politics/IfdjSRYTn0nD6yzYQ4spRO/Fodder-scam-case-A-timeline-of-events.html">Rabri Devi joined the list of accused</a> in the scam but was granted bail. In October 2001, after the bifurcation of Bihar, <a href="http://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2017/dec/23/a-timeline-of-the-fodder-scam-that-changed-bihar-politics-forever-1735327.html">53 of the total 63 fodder scam cases</a> were moved to the newly created state of Jharkhand by the <keyword id="6354977" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Supreme-Court">Supreme Court</keyword>. In December 2006, a Patna lower court acquits both Lalu and his wife in a disproportionate assets case filed by CBI. In March 2012, the CBI court frames charges against Lalu Prasad and his predecessor Jagannath Mishra, amongst others. In September 2013, Lalu Prasad, Jagannath Mishra and 45 others convicted in the Chaibasa Treasury case involving the withdrawal of ₹377 million from the Chaibasa treasury. In the first of the six cases levied against him, Lalu is sentenced to five years in jail but gets out in three months on bail. He is disqualified as Lok Sabha member and debarred from contesting elections. In November 2014, the <keyword id="6382425" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="jharkhand-high-court">Jharkhand High Court</keyword> drops four pending criminal conspiracy cases against Lalu on grounds of a convicted person cannot be repeatedly be tried for similar cases based on same witnesses and evidence. In May 2017, the Supreme Court quashes the Jharkhand High Court’s decision and reinstates the charges. Lalu to be tried on each of the five remaining cases against him. In December 2017, CBI court convicts Lalu Prasad Yadav in the second — illegal withdrawal of money from the Deogarh treasury — fodder scam case but acquits Jagannath Mishra. In January 2018, Lalu Prasad sentenced to <a href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/fodder-scam-case-lalu-prasad-sentenced-to-threeandahalf-years-in-jail/article10018142.ece">three and a half years in jail</a> and a 10 lakh rupee fine by the special CBI court. Later that month, in the <a href="http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/lalu-prasad-jagannath-mishra-convicted-in-third-fodder-scam-case/article22506233.ece">third case</a> pertaining to the fraudulent withdrawal of ₹336.7 million from Chaibasa district treasury, both Lalu Prasad and Jagannath Mishra were awarded an additional five years jail and ₹1 million fine. In March 2018, Lalu Prasad was sentenced in the fourth fodder scam case to 14 years in jail and fined ₹6 million. This is by far the severest sentence doled out to the 69-year-old RJD chief so far.
