You are right!! Every mother in my clan ...Yes Maya! You are right!! Every mother in my clan told her child/children that 'we are Brahmins'. We have been persecuted for about two centuries, from Kashmir to Goa to Sindhudurg, by Muslim Sultan, then Inquisition and outcast by Hindus (because we drank well-water polluted by bread dropped by missionaries).<br /><br />My family was displaced and marginalized when I was six and my brother in arms. Since then I have searching my roots. I would visit those twelve vocational people - weaver, basket-maker, potter, barber, cobbler, iron-smith, copper-smith, goldsmith... regularly. The visit to shepherds at foothills near village was my fond spot to spend time.<br /><br />I spent nearly forty years to visit tribal people, on and off, again and again. They are my true foster-kin now! I keep singing songs for them...<br /><br />Thanks for visit! Do come again!

I ...I am thankful for your visit and frank comment. I humbly reached adivasis to learn, not as a scholar or teach them my urban ways. And I am enriched by them. <br /><br />Your comment makes me more responsible and humbler. I have written many posts — prose, poems, pictures — on tribal, aborigine people on my other blogs. Please visit them when time permits.Remigius de Souzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628941862303023774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5992319849931967459.post-24772798243579270662012-07-28T12:22:02.408+05:302012-07-28T12:22:02.408+05:30Glimpses of some people who are also in our countr...Glimpses of some people who are also in our country, of whom, we do not know much or we have not cared to know much. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing this information to readers of your blog.Vetirmagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881952063893739315noreply@blogger.com
