Raipur: The real glimpse of the tribal rebellion during the British period will be seen in Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Museum

In the Shaheed Veeranarayan Singh Museum complex under construction in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh, a tableau depicting the tribal rebellion that took place in Chhattisgarh during the British period is being prepared in its original form. Many brave sons of Chhattisgarh sacrificed their lives during the tribal rebellion that took place during the British period to protect their identity and culture. Artists from Bastar, Kolkata and Mumbai Film City are engaged in depicting the tribal rebellion in its original form through the tableau.  

Principal Secretary of Tribal Welfare Department, Mr. Bora today visited Shahid Veernarayan Singh Museum and reviewed the construction work going on there. Mr. Bora met the artists engaged in preparing the tableau of tribal rebellion and encouraged them. Mr. Bora said that this tableau being prepared to show the real form of tribal rebellion will remind the people of the glorious history of the tribal community.

It is worth mentioning that Shahid Veernarayan Singh Museum is being established on about 10 acres of land near Purkhauti Muktangan in Naya Raipur at a cost of Rs. 45 crore. In this museum, a separate museum of tribal lifestyle of Chhattisgarh is being prepared, which will introduce the tribal art-culture and customs. Principal Secretary of Tribal and Scheduled Caste Development Department, Mr. Sonamni Bora gave instructions to expedite the construction work of the museum. On this occasion, Director of Tribal Research and Training Institute, Mr. P.S. Elma, along with other senior officers and representatives of the concerned agency were present.

The curator of the museum construction, Mr. Probal Ghosh, said that the construction of this tableau based on the heroic tales of the tribal freedom fighters of Chhattisgarh is a very challenging task. In this museum, the real story of the rural life of the tribals, their independence and their heroic tale will be shown in a classical look. 14 special sculptors from Kolkata, 23 artists from Bastar and Film City Mumbai are engaged in giving this museum a concrete shape with the composition of the story. The finishing work of the sculptures is also being done in parallel. After the museum is ready, this museum will not only remind the people of the supreme sacrifice made by the tribal freedom fighters of Chhattisgarh during the freedom struggle, but will also introduce the common people to the glorious tribal tradition of Chhattisgarh.
