Maharashtra Gen Z Adivasis ask for more

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from The Hindu · South Asia

In Manjari village, on the outskirts of Pune, tribal students have been protesting for over two weeks with a hunger strike against the Maharashtra government, which they say has not heard them for years. They hope this time their need for better quality education and hostel infrastructure will be seen, and the Supreme Court-mandated employment assured nine years ago will be given. Vinaya Deshpande Pandit speaks with the students, many of whom are first-generation college-goers
