Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The narratives and memories of Adivasi martyrdom have recently been transformed into busts, statues and memorials by the state and community to commemorate the martyrs. However, this phenomenon is full of tension as the Adivasis have been contesting the appropriation of their martyrs by the outsiders and the state.
