Remembering Abhay Xaxa, the activist whose focus on emancipating Adivasi lives was second to none
FirstpostAs we remember Abhay Xaxa’s steel, determination, and his intellect to think beyond the reasonable, we also need to remember that he fought hard to break notions, build bridges and strengthen a stoic image of the marginalised communities in India. Abhay Xaxa’s association with the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights started in the year 2012, with him being young, full of energy, and carrying a fire in his eyes. Even though he was crusading for Adivasi rights, one must not forget that he was a human rights activist first, with expertise in bonded labour, Dalit rights, Adivasi rights, budget rights, education justice, among several other subjects. As we bid farewell to Abhay Xaxa, we leave with a poem that he wrote: Beautiful Damaged People Among the doom and gloom they smile, Mistaken for idiots by the mad rational world.
