होली से पहले उपवास, पहाड़ से लाए गए पत्थरों के रंग और ढोलक-नगाड़ों की थाप, महाराष्ट्र के भील आदिवासियों का होली नृत्य सिर्फ़ उत्सव नहीं, एक जीवित परंपरा है। नंदूरबार के कलाकार गौतम खर्डे और उनकी मंडली इस लोककला को गाँव से राष्ट्रीय मंच तक पहुँचा रहे हैं।

दो आदिवासी बहनें जब मंच पर गाती हैं, तो उनकी आवाज़ सिर्फ संगीत नहीं, संस्कृति की पुकार बन जाती है। उनके गीत पूरे आदिवासी समाज से पूछते हैं कि क्या हम अपनी जड़ों, अपनी पहचान और अपनी कुड़ुख भाषा से दूर जाते जा रहे हैं?

Researchers and activists working with the tribals and other forest-dwelling communities pooh-pooh Union environment ministry's recent data on encroachment on the forest land. Unless the Forest Rights Act of 2006 is implemented in both letter and spirit, encroachment will remain a contentious issue.
