Tribals significantly contributed to India's freedom movement: CM Gehlot

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot greeted people on World Tribal Day on Tuesday and said the tribal community has a significant contribution in the Indian freedom movement.

He said his government is working with dedication for the welfare of the tribals in the state.

The tribal society has its own special identity as nature worshipers, which is manifested through their songs and dance. The glimpse of tribals' attachment to nature is clearly visible in their folk songs, Gehlot said in a tweet in Hindi.

He said the tribals from the state have made sacrifices from time to time to defend the motherland.

The state government is working with dedication and true spirit for the welfare of the tribal community.

Along with connecting them (tribals) with the mainstream, every effort is being made to preserve their cultural heritage, he added.
