While the world celebrates Durga Puja, some indigenous tribes in West Bengal mourn. To them, Mahishasura isn’t a demon but a heroic ancestor named Hudur Durga.
- Tribes in Bankura and Purulia observe these days in grief.
- Doors remain shut, and homes are draped in black.
- They view the myth as a historical betrayal by Aryan invaders.
A haunting, cultural resistance persists today.
