At this Martyrs Day celebration, there is a song warning people against “chugli” (informer), a dance urging villagers to refuse clothes handed out by security forces, and a play depicting a tribal rebellion during the colonial era.

After the police leave, villagers return and resume their activities. As members of the sangham (Maoist local committee), gram raksha dal (village militia), bal sangham (children(***)s squad) and cultural troupes, most villagers have been co-opted into the Maoist organisation, making them a target for security forces.
