Abstract

By the end of March 2021, 10 districts of western Odisha, bordering Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, were badly hit by the second wave of COVID-19. Stock-taking of the public health infrastructure in the adivasi pockets of Odisha is pivotal as the state is duty-bound to improve public health. The NGOs fighting for rights of adivasis find it contradictory that Odisha state boasts of exporting oxygen from western Odisha to 10 other states while maintaining the position that it has surplus oxygen, whereas on the ground, commoners in the hospitals were dying due to a lack of oxygen. The silent deaths of adivasis are not due to the deadliness of the virus but a consequence of systemic neglect by the state. If poverty and low standards of living imperilled their lives slowly, lack of public provisioning of COVID-19 treatment triggered mass deaths, did not find media coverage, and officially these are not esven counted as ‘data’ to be mourned.

V:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，对奥里萨邦西部原住民的卫生服务进行了关键评估

到2021年3月底，与恰蒂斯加尔邦和贾坎德邦接壤的奥里萨邦西部的10个地区遭受了第二波COVID-19的严重打击。对奥里萨邦原住民聚居区的公共卫生基础设施进行评估至关重要，因为该邦有责任改善公共卫生。为原住民争取权利的非政府组织发现，奥里萨邦自夸从奥里萨邦西部向其他10个邦出口氧气，同时保持氧气过剩的立场，而在地面上，医院里的平民因缺氧而死亡，这是矛盾的。阿迪瓦病无声的死亡不是由于病毒的致命性，而是国家系统性忽视的结果。如果贫困和低生活水平慢慢危及他们的生命，那么缺乏公共提供的COVID-19治疗引发了大规模死亡，没有得到媒体的报道，官方甚至不将这些视为值得哀悼的“数据”。

期刊介绍： Contributions to Indian Sociology (CIS) is a peer-reviewed journal which has encouraged and fostered cutting-edge scholarship on South Asian societies and cultures over the last 50 years. Its features include research articles, short comments and book reviews. The journal also publishes special issues to highlight new and significant themes in the discipline. CIS invites articles on all countries of South Asia, the South Asian diaspora as well as on comparative studies related to the region. The journal favours articles in which theory and data are mutually related. It welcomes a diversity of theoretical approaches and methods. CIS was founded by Louis Dumont and David Pocock in 1957 but ceased publication in 1966. A new series commenced publication the next year (1967) at the initiative of T.N. Madan with the support of an international group of scholars including Professors Louis Dumont, A.C. Mayer, Milton Singer and M.N. Srinivas. Published annually till 1974, Contributions became a biannual publication in 1975. From 1999, the journal has been published thrice a year.
