Bhil Tribe - Madhya Pradesh - This is a photograph i had clicked in a small tribal village in Madhya Pradesh . I saw a young Bhil tribal man using this hunting gadget . I found his activity very interesting . Sling or gofan is a 5-6 feet long hunting weapon. It is made of a thread. It is very common in rural India. It is used by farmer to keep away birds from devastating their farm-produce. It is also used for hunting of birds and small animals of which meat can be consumed. These tribal are ritually sacrifice animals to propitiate the Goddess earth. It is used as to place the stone at the centre and rotate it overhead 3-4 times before throws it at the target. In this the handler has to throw his body with the force which is a appalling act.
