THE SYMBOLS OF TRIBAL HUMAN RIGHTS

If we see the social, cultural, religious and above all the political history of the Bhils and their struggles for survival in India, we find that among many tribal groups, the Bhils of North and Western parts of India have fearlessly fought most against more powerful invaders to their land such as Aryans, Muslims, Rajputs, Marathas, British etc, all through the history, loosing each time due to the lack of unity among them in spite of having bigger number against their better organised foes and also have no proper weapons to face them in battles. In all their social and political encounters, their weapons and strategies weaker than their more powerful enemies. The Bhil tribal heroes, saints and leaders, who led their Bhil people, some of their names can be mentioned to recall their memories.

HUMAN RIGHTS FOR EDUCATION

Since over a decade of years or more, all over India a strong urge is being felt among the tribal youth especially among tribal girls who being females, are badly deprived by the parents, and governments in imparting and letting the female children go to schools in proper age, owing to which the tribal girls suffer in their daily labourer's jobs in and away from their tribal habitats. In such a sensitive situation tribal girls from the Bhil region of Jhabua (MP), narrates their feelings in the folksong in this manner:

Uncle !
There is a school on the hill top
Of our village
Let me go to study.

I do not care,
Whether I study
Up to fifth class or eight,
I am but an ignorant girl.

If,
I go to school,
My mind will be enlightened,

Uncle !
You are
Smothering me,
With your possessiveness
And love
Which makes you
Keep me at home.

I may
Even study,
Up to eleventh class or twelve.

Cast aside,
Your paternal dominance
And,
Let me go to school!
