#Munda

Our rules-bound system, that privileges compliance over dignity, was functioning as intended — until Munda dug out his sister’s skeletal remains. Accepting this is uncomfortable because we are willing, active participants in it

After repeated visits failed, the man exhumed his sister’s remains and carried her skeleton to a bank to prove her death and access Rs 19,300. Odisha’s initial probe now points to “negligence by officials”

The swift resolution of Jitu Munda’s claim after national outcry proves that the system isn’t broken—it is designed to ignore the vulnerable until cameras arrive

Jitu Munda says he was refused access to money in case highlighting ‘lack of humanity’ in Indian bureaucracy
