#GroundUpStories | “I belong to the Kalbelia community, which has been categorised as a nomadic tribe. Despite this classification, we have been living in villages across Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district for the past 20–25 years. And while we have homes in these villages, we don’t have a cremation ground available to bury our dead. As a result of this, graves are being built everywhere. Many people from the community have no option but to bury dead bodies in open grounds, sometimes even in front of their houses”. Read this article by Tiloknath Kalbelia to learn how Rajasthan's Kalbelias are restricted from using cremation grounds in their villages because of their classification as a nomadic tribe. @wethepeopleabhiyan Link in bio. . . . . . . . . . . #cremationland #burialgrounds #restrictedusage #nomadictribes #communities #discriminatedtribes #perceptions #landaccess #villageresidents #prejudice #titles #panchayatrecords #vulnerablelandowners #burialplots #landsecurity
