The death of 84-year-old renowned human rights activist Fr. Stan Swamy in judicial custody on July 5, 2021, is considered an institutional murder orchestrated by the State. He became a martyr for the cause of Adivasis, Dalits and the marginalised. But the government considers him a Maoist. This book tries to unravel the life and mission of Fr. Stan Swamy who spent over four decades accompanying the Adivasis of central India in their struggle to obtain Constitutional provisions. It is published in Hindi and Malayalam too.
