Kaushalya Ingti 

Karbi Tribe, North-East India 

"I want our leaders to recognise and respect our language, culture, and traditions. They must also take the initiative to protect our forests, which are increasingly producing conflict between humans and other animals for our people's survival. " 

She further added, "My wish is for my tribal community to be recognised and for our children to be able to connect with the world through their distinct identities." There should not be any discrimination because of the unawareness of our tribe. "
