Codava Council to Host Seminar on Autonomy and Tribal Rights

The Codava National Council is holding a meeting to talk about giving the Codava people more control over their region.

They want their own area, like other groups in India, and they want to be officially recognized as a tribe.

They also want to protect their language, land, and traditions, including the right to carry traditional weapons.

Experts will discuss how the Indian constitution can help them achieve their goals, focusing on their cultural identity within India's framework.

The group says they are trying to get their rights in a peaceful way, following the law.
