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!
