PROTAGONISTS FOR NATURE - THE BISHNOIS.
The minimalist living of Bishnoi community in Khejarli village, Rajasthan. We are forced to stop here and give it a serious thought. A tribal settlement, living in harsh conditions, struggling to make a living, would still want to protect and preserve the resources that could have been exploited as a key to their prosperity. The Bishnoi community specially women of this community is a ideal example of fanatical passion for life.
