Madia Tribe

The Madias are declared as one of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribes of the State by the Government of Maharashtra. They have stuck to their core tribal lifestyle for generations and have strong faith in it. They inhabit the dense forests of the districts and have a deep religious, spiritual, economic, and cultural connection with them. The first book of our series celebrates the Madia tribe in their current contexts. Through the twelve stories, we have documented their lifestyle, aspirations, conflicts, challenges, and traditions.
