The Bhil festival of love and romance of Western India begins tomorrow as the last weekly market prior to the Hindu festival of Holi. As it is much talked and discussed earlier in these pages, due to the acute shortage of rains in the Western India, failures of crops, fall in the annual income in the Tribal or Adivasi villages, the celebration of the the festival of Bhagoria will be badly affected.
As such the tribals who have migrated in the distant lands, in search of daily wages have already begun to return to their Bhil Habitats for the annual celebration of this festival. In the tribal region of the Bhagoria Bhils, in some 10-12 weekly markets shall host the festival of Bhagoria tomorrow, starting with the Bhagoria festival of Kalyanpura some 20 k.m. away from the district head quarter of Jhabua. Even though the Bhils have returned with some hard earned money from the distant places, but it shall be interesting to note whether they shall save this money for food, medicine, repay of loans etc, or the romance in which they spend more than their capacity.
