The Tharu Tribe: A Struggle Against 700 Years of Oppression
जंगलों से जन्मा संघर्ष: थारू जाति का इतिहास, शोषण और स्वाभिमान की कहानी”
The Tharu Janjati is one of the most ancient indigenous tribal communities of India, mainly residing in the Terai regions of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, and Nepal. For generations, the Tharu people lived in harmony with forests, rivers, and wildlife, developing a rich cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and a self-sustained way of life.
During the colonial era and after independence, the Tharu community faced severe land alienation, social discrimination, and bonded labor systems. Many families lost their ancestral lands and were forced into lifelong debt and exploitation due to lack of education and legal awareness.
This documentary uncovers the hidden history, painful struggles, and cultural strength of the Tharu people. It highlights their traditions, resistance, and the ongoing fight for identity, dignity, education, and equal rights in modern India.
The story of the Tharu Janjati is not just about one tribe —
it reflects the broader struggle of indigenous and marginalized communities across the country.
