Abstract

I recently spent some time in a village in Gujarat almost exclusively inhabited by an Adivasi community called the Rathva. In my discussions with the community, ‘dhandho’ (a Guajarati word that roughly translates as occupation) was cited as the key reason why they wanted their children to attend school. ‘Dhando’ is a word that can mean jobs (public or private) or self-employment in petty businesses.
