On the occasion of Nonadic Tribes Day a two-day programme is organized at Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum.

The event is being organised in collaboration with Tribal Lok Kala and Boli Vikas Akademi, Madhya Pradesh Tribal Museum, Bhopal and Institute of Excellence in Higher Education.

The programme was inaugurated by keynote speaker and guests. During this, Academy Director Dharmendra Pare, Director, Institute of Excellence in Higher Education, Bhopal Pragyesh Kumar Agrawal, Professor of Hindi at the Institute of Excellence in Higher Education, Sandhya Prasad and others were present.

Academy Director Dharmendra Pare said in the program that the understanding of culture and promotion is half incomplete. We talk about saving pictures, crafts, dance, art and language, but we do not go into the bottom of the reasons from which they all arise. Culture cannot survive by being cut off from traditions and customs. The program was conducted by Shubham Chauhan.

In the first phase of the programme, under the symposium, Scholar from Germany Heidelberg University, Ashwani Sharma, Narnaul, Haryana, on the subject of oral historians of modern India, told that it has been more than a decade since they worked on the denotified and nomadic communities.

The Bhopa Samajs are oral historians, free from the cycle of time. While doing the Phad Bacha, the Bhopas take them to ancient India at one time, then to modern India the next moment.

In the second session of the programme Nomadic Bhopas were presented by  Sugna Ram Bhopa and partner, Jaisalmer. During the presentation, he narrated the story of Maharaj Pabu Rathore. The artists told through the presentation that Pabu Maharaj had brought the first camel from Sindh province to Rajasthan in 1400 AD.

Earlier camels were not found in Rajasthan and that is why Bhopa considers them as their folk deity and tells about the work and contribution made by them in their story. Folk songs like Veera, Kurja, Bin Ja Ri were also performed during the performance.

The 65 year old Sugna Ram Bhopa presented the work of reading Phad. Phad is a cloth on which different types of figures are made and they sing about those figures with the help of their folk instrument (Ravana Hatha).
