THE MANIFESTATION OF TRIPLE OPPRESSION THROUGH THE WEAPONIZING OF THE TRIAD OF VISUALITY IN THE RUPASPUR-CHANDWA MASSACRE
The catastrophe in the Rupaspaur-Chandwa district on November 22, 1971, in the Purnia district of Bihar, exists as a significant juncture in the timeline of post-colonial, where a group of Rajput landlords killed 14 Santhal tribals, shooting and burning women and children alive, with a suspicion of the actual numbers being supressed (Adivasi First Nation, 2021).
This massacre which remains the first major annihilation of Adivasis based on land ownership, prevails as a testament of how representation, which is the ability to see, be noticed and portray, acts as a paraphernalia for intimidation, subjugation and establishing dominance
