It is "for" them only in the peripheral sense that it seeks to drum up support for their traditionally beautiful lifestyle and their never ending struggles against the non-adivasis who seek to deprive them of their unique beauty. The blog is mainly a forum for my own musings about my life and work among them and i have categorically said so at the beginning. I have sought to put in a publicly accessible forum what I think to be off the track happenings in the Bhils' backyard that do not normally make news.Rahul Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03878406459334361611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000456447770564113.post-45839592399089485742007-08-13T10:02:00.000+05:302007-08-13T10:02:00.000+05:30The question is not of legitimacy.

To which I felt this was a site of an individual and his personal feelings and opinions of his work with the Bhils. Surely the Bhils are not interested in your personal dilemma of pursuing a corporate career or activism...... <BR/><BR/>in any case,I fully appreciate one's freedom of expression in a personal blog.... so no war ... our argument was about 'cries and whispers' in blogs.....i close with apologies for any unintended hurt.<BR/><BR/>...an unwanted friendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
