Holi reporting, songs and drums from remote Korwa village

Bindeshwari Painkra this Holi went to a remote village in Surguja district in Chhattisgarh where primitive Pahari Korwa tribes live to celebrate the festival. Amidst the sound of drums and adivasi Holi songs he tells us that the life of these Pahari Korwas are very difficult. They do not get any work under NREGA. They are dependent on selling forest produce for their livelihood but they are celebrating the festival with lots of fun and local liquors. For more Painkra ji can be reached at 07828972116
