Nirmala Putul

Nirmala Putul (also referred to as Nirmala Putul Murmu) is a Santhali writer, poet, and activist writing in both Santhali and Hindi. She was born in 1972 in the Santhal Parganas district of Jharkhand, and now serves as the Sarpanch of the Kurwa Gram Panchayat. Her literary and activist work is deeply invested in the rights of Adivasi women and broader themes of Adivasiyat. Putul depicts Santhal life from a woman's perspective, exploring how displacement, migration, and changing relationships with the environment affect people.
