Tribal Kingdom | Episode 2 – Leegal Show

The Chotanagpur Tenancy Act (CNT) is an important piece of legislation that protects the land and property rights of tribal communities in India. Passed in 1908, the act was designed to protect the interests of the Adivasi, or tribal, communities living in the Chotanagpur region of Jharkhand, which was then part of British India.

Over the years, the CNT Act has been subject to several amendments, with the most significant changes taking place in 2016. These changes were aimed at allowing the government to acquire land for public purposes, such as building roads, schools, and hospitals. However, these changes were met with widespread protests from tribal communities, who saw them as a threat to their land and property rights.

The CNT Act is significant because it recognizes the importance of community ownership of land. Under the act, the ownership of land is vested in the community, rather than in individuals. This ensures that the land remains in the hands of the tribal communities and is not sold or transferred to outsiders.

One of the key figures in the history of the CNT Act is Bhagwan Birsa Munda, a tribal leader who fought against the British colonial authorities in the late 19th century. Munda believed that the tribal communities had the right to own and control their land, and he led several revolts against the British authorities in support of this cause.

Today, the CNT Act remains an important tool for protecting the land and property rights of tribal communities in India. However, there are still challenges to be overcome. The government’s attempts to acquire land for public purposes have often resulted in the displacement of tribal communities, who are then forced to live in slums or other inadequate housing.

In conclusion, the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act is a crucial piece of legislation for protecting the land and property rights of tribal communities in India. It recognizes the importance of community ownership of land and ensures that the land remains in the hands of the tribal communities. However, more needs to be done to ensure that the act is implemented in a way that does not lead to the displacement of tribal communities.
