"After my tour in the tribal belt of the Madias, I feel the intensity of injustice right down to my toe-nails." - Baba Amte
Prologue
I read somewhere: "Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting."
I've an obsession for seeing beautiful and unusual places. Hence my trip to Hemalkasa.
Many thought I had lost my mind to go to the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra - an economically backward and under-developed region plagued by Naxalite (Maoist) violence. The same people don't have a good opinion on the other activity that I frequently engage in either - mountain climbing. As far as they are concerned, it is a useless and risky activity. However, just like mountain climbing, they have no idea how rewarding this journey was for me and I hope that this article helps them to understand.
