Background
The Bhils are the largest tribe of South Asia and probably the oldest forest community of India. They are mentioned in the Ramayana (Shabari, Sri Rama’s devotee was a Bhil) and fought Akbar’s army alongside Maharana Pratap. Though Bhils are largely settled in Western India, they also live in certain areas of Sindh, Pakistan. However, the persecution of Hindus in Pakistan has led these people to seek refuge in India on a long term visa.

However, the persecution of Hindus in Pakistan has led these people to seek refuge in India on a long term visa.
Most of the Pakistani Bhil families who are living in India on a visa had to sell off their small lands & jewelry to undertake the journey of hundreds of kilometers from the interior regions of Pakistan, undergo security checks and complete the various requirements to obtain the visa from Indian embassy in Pakistan. When they arrive in India, they have hardly any money left.
A Family’s Tragedy
Kastooro Ram and his wife Muradi Devi are a proud Sanatan Dharmic Bhil family from Pakistan. They came to India 5 years ago and had been living in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan with their 2 daughers and 3 sons.
The eldest daughter Guddi had been engaged and the family was preparing for the marriage when tragedy struck and Kastooro Ram, the sole earning member of the family died of cardiac arrest around 6 months ago. Nimittekam came forward to help the family and the marriage was held in a solemn manner. However, with the passing away of Kastooro Ram, the economic condition of the family deteriorated and with no resources to fall back upon, their economic condition has worsened to such an extent that they are unable to meet their basic needs of food, shelter and clothing.
