SONG OF AWARENESS

Humble Prayer of a Bhil

The Bhils are very badly deprived and exploited by all, with no exception anywhere in the country. The 'Song of New Awareness' ( Chetna-Geet), originally composed in Bhili has been translated in many languages including German.This is the prayer of a humble and helpless Bhil against all the social, cultural, political forces in the country, for a new awareness to Bhagwan his Supreme deity. The Bhils are from pre historic times were rulling race, from whom the other invaders deprived them of their states, jal(water), jungle(forests) and jameen(land). They fought but no use, since they were defeated each time all through the centuries. It is a famous poem of Mahipal Bhuriya composed in 1977 and very much appreciated by Hindi media people. Dr. Nemichand Jain and other writers often quoted this piece of Bhili literature in their writings.

O Bhagwan!
There are lots of difficulties in my country
You make me alert
Against these here,.
We are simple and naive people
Hence cheated in this land
Do not avoid us
Hence make hast to help us.

Bring development in our land
And,
Show us the way
To progress in our land.
