MAMA TRAINED BHIL LEADERS FOR INDIAN DEMOCRACY

Mama Baleshwar Dayal knew well the history of the Bhil tribe that they were the ancient rulers of the Central, Western and North India. He also knew well from the ancient Indian that they had a rich royal heritage of ruling their own tribal, Nishad or Bhil land and society, maintaining their own law and order since prehistoric times better, than the maintenance of the law and order situation in free India especially in tribal Bhil land. This was very evident to Mama in the tribal life especially in their noble values of the Bhils of which he was convinced that they were absent in the mainstream society as well. It was clear to him that prior to the starting of the Indian Princely states by Rajputs, in the Bhil land, the total geographical habitat was under their control and possession since ancient times. Later all the territories of the Bhils were very unjustly and with much cruelty were annexed by Rajputs and others.

Mama Baleshwar Dayal was loving, caring and kind hearted towards the Bhils, hence he strongly felt that once this tribe was aggressively subjugated by the Rajputs, Muslims, Marathas and British peoples and now no more the history should repeat at least in Free and Democratic India. Everything is snatched away from them land, jungle and jameen. From all these and at least part of it should be restored to them in justice, fraternity and equality he felt. They had the capacity to rule, lead and think justly for their own people. Punjo Bhil was the Senapati of Maharana Pratap besides many Bhil heroes in the ancient and modern Bhil history in Bhilanchal.

In the year 1952 he made the Bhils in the whole of Bhilanchal contest elections for the Lok Sabha( Parliament) and Vidhan Sabhas(State Assemblies), etc. During Mama's life time 6 Bhil leaders won the seats of Lok Sabha elections and 16 others won for the state assembly elections. The credit goes to Mama. Today, inspite of having so much man, money and other facilities no social workers or NGOs are fighting for the justice, human cultural and political rights of the Bhils.
