Once upon a time Bhagoria Bhils were famous throughout India for their folklore and tribal festivals in India. Tourists who came from within the country and abroad returned home with unforgettable memories of Bhilanchal. Today, even though part of it remains but the tribal charms that existed not earlier than just two decades ago, has vanished and a gloom has spread over the land of the glamorous Bhagoria land. The media persons have time and again noticed and highlighted, but as the expression of the Bhils of the Bhagoria land says the administration does not do 'oonha' to take a slightest not of it. Today these Bhils folks are wandering in neighboring towns, cities and states.
Where are those human values disappeared....Mama Baleshwar Dayal called once upon a time to these Bhils of Bhagoria land 'Anndata'(giver of food) of non tribals in this very regions of Malwa, Palwad, Vagod, Mayod, Bhagor, Rath and Gujarat of the Bhilanchal. The Bhils of these regions have become semi-nomads (and some places beggars), as many of the reports say, from 40% to 70% or hundred % nomads of the yea or seasons of the year. Where lies the human considerations, relief work and Rojgar Guarantee (employment) programmes...? If one goes to the remote regions of the Bhils finds nothing reaches them, and hunger, drought, starvation, palayan(migration) as media constantly depicts, persists months after months and year after year...not only today.
In the local Bhili of this section of the Bhilanchal the Bhils say ' Mara hahra upar na upar khai jae ane nisun kain ni ava de...'( The merciless fathers-in-law or persons in authorise eat up in high places and never let the relief percolate a bit down ward.....). In this region 90% of the NGOs who are consistently increasing in number and funds share evidently the same philosophy of denial and deprivation, with no exception, for tribal resources and opportunities what so ever. Even if they work for another 60 years, with 5 times larger funds the situation of the Bhils of Bhilanchal will only regress and not progress ....only non tribals shall continually progress as consistently in opportunities, wealth and all the rest as it is now..!
