TRIBAL HUMAN RIGHTS & BHIL WOMEN

Over the last 40 years, the traditional role of the Bhil women in the problems sunk society of the Bhils in Bhilanchal has dramatically changed. This spontaneous change has occurred on the tribal scene, not due to the willful desire the women to follow the uncommitted directions given by the NGOs, to follow pace of tribal development in the country, but as a genuine and felt reaction from within to creatively respond to what is happening around them and what is being imposed by the outsiders, administrators and others as unjust, inappropriate and related to their overall human rights in the Bhil society. Both in the public places, such as markets and in village community gatherings. The Bhil women are on the fontline to protect their tribal and women's human rights in Adivasi Bhil community of Bhlanchal. Such a response one might say is a miracle, as the traditionally Bhil women , are submissive, hardworking, lovers of folk arts compared to tribal Bhil men folks, since they live in patriarchal Bhil society.

The response of Adivasi Bhil women, to protect their human rights, comes on the forefront of their mind in society, is due to their self awareness basically, as the part of their psychic intolerance to what is taking place publically and secretly around them, socially, culturally, politically and even educationally not in favour of their largely disrespected tribal human and women's rights by non tribals everywhere.

The educated men in the towns of Bhilanchal think that the Bhil women are stupid and unaware of their hidden corrupt practices. But the Bhil women are honest, shrewd, intuitive and able to see through the corrupt behavior of the non tribals in all the departments of administration of the Governments of various states. One can see this in the nukhad nataks the Bhil women artistically perform, folksongs they compose and sing with innovative themes in public, animational programmes they organise, exhibit very much towards the protection of human rights issues in the society, relating to their Bhili language, culture, products, politics, developmental funds, education of their children, police, legal system, and other tribal human rights and so on. Even in the public and private life, it is the women folks who have legally and innovatively reacted to protect and promote tribal human rights. If all the social workers, sincerely animate the Bhil women, one can say that in the short span of time, the Bhilanchal shall not need any corrupt NGOs to guide them, rather the Bhil women shall guide the NGOs as it is being witnessed in the rural areas of Bhilanchal.
