Rahul Gandhi said, "our Adivasi brothers and sisters are repositories of our heritage, and they have been at the forefront of preserving our ancient wisdom. Every folk song, dance, painting and sculpture tells a unique story, and provides a window into the fascinating world of our ancestors. It is through these living traditions that societies and communities keep their collective memories alive.
"I am happy that Chhattisgarh Government has been working proactively to support and recognize our Adivasi artists," stated Rahul Gandhi in his message - IANS
