About the Book

A group of middle class activists disappear into another world, another culture, another dimension. That was what it was like when the DRAG team intervened in a tribal pocket of Pen taluka, Maharashtra. Its involvement with the adivasis and the efforts to galvanise them over what was rightfully theirs during the next five years form the basis of this book. The process is slow, the process of change, sometimes frustrating, at times infuriating. But the process informs us of what it involves to engage with the adivasis who have been denied and deprived by the Mughals, the British and now by the Indian elite. Must we, should we, tolerate this state of affairs?
