A non-political tribal organisation has found in freedom fighter Bajal Soren an icon for the movement against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens. So, in our movement against the NRC and CAA, we have decided to showcase the valiant Bajal Soren as our role model. One such poster said: Adibasider jodi hoi NRC, Bajal Baba hobe amader role model (if NRC is implemented among tribals, Bajal will be our role model). “Very few people know about Bajal Soren. For us, Bajal is a role model,” said Surajit Singh Hansda, a demonstrator in pharmacology at Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital.
