New Delhi, Jun 30: President Droupadi Murmu paid tribute to tribal warriors on ‘Hul Diwas’ (Rebellion Day) on Monday and said that immortal tales of their struggle against injustice are an eternal source of inspiration for the people of the nation.

“On Hul Diwas, I pay tribute to Sido-Kanhu, Chand-Bhairav, Phoolo-Jhano, and all the brave warriors of the Santhal rebellion. Their indomitable courage and the immortal tales of their struggle against injustice are an eternal source of inspiration for the people of the nation.
