Unsung Adivasi achievers, their lip-smacking cuisines, ancient medicinal systems, centuries-old unique games and sports, ageless arts and crafts, timeless music and traditional musical instruments, we cover the Scheduled Tribes community like never-before, of course, without losing sight of the ailments, shortcomings and negatives like domestic abuse, alcoholism and malnourishment among others plaguing them. Know the unknown, lesser-known tribal life as we bring reader-engaging stories of Adivasis of India.
