We are worshipping the trees and every spot of the hill range. If anybody takes away the Niyamgiri hills from us, it will undermine our religion and faith and the Dongaria Kondh tribe will perish. The forest officials are trying to hoodwink us and have also collected our fake signatures. But in no case, we are going to quit the hills as we are prepared to fight till the last drop of blood is shed”, he said. Dongu Sikaka, another speaker said, “The Niyamgiri hills will be converted into a desert if bauxite mining is allowed. Even if 10,000 tribals have to give up their lives, they are not going to quit the hills.”
