Abstract
The life of Father Stanislaus Lourduswamy, popularly known as Stan Swamy, abounds in prophetic courage and inspiration. He was an Adivasi rights activist and the oldest person to be accused of terrorism in India. He worked for the people in forced displacement due to the state’s illegal land acquisitions. After spending nine months in jail under the anti-terror law, he died in custody. During his ministry among the Adivasis, he led an unassuming life. Today he is acclaimed as well as criticized. An awardee of Mukundan C. Menon Award 2020 for human rights, Fr. Stan Swamy was posthumously honored with the Martin Ennals Award 2022. This article examines how effective Swamy5 was as a human rights and Adivasi rights activist in the state of Jharkhand.
