This compilation represents a labour of love to describe a tribal culture before it is lost in an ethnocide, which threatens our tribal peoples today more than ever. A scholar and a priest have collaborated to bring together head and heart with a commitment to, and an empathy for the Warlis. These tribals have a contribution to make a challenge to pose to us, for the tribal is the 'other' who questions and critiques our society in ways we cannot ignore, if we want to address the fundamental issues of our society with a humanising agenda. To make the text more accessible and credible the Warli legends and myths are presented in English and Warli, in the Roman as well as the Devanagari scripts. As such this collection represents an important contribution to ethnographic literature, on the Warlis in particular and more generally as well.
