The Baiga tribe in Dindori District, Madhya Pradesh, India, historically practised Bewar agriculture, a traditional and sustainable method. However, they have transitioned to settled cultivation, primarily growing millet with primitive techniques. The government has introduced wheat and rice, unfamiliar to their traditional diet, potentially endangering their well-being. Additionally, authorities advocate for hybrid seeds to enhance productivity. Still, the Baiga tribe resists these changes, reflecting a struggle to balance modern agricultural practices with preserving their cultural and ecological heritage. This situation highlights the complex dilemma faced by the Baiga tribe as they navigate the challenges of adapting to new agricultural norms imposed by external influences.
