Seral Murmu, a young tribal filmmaker, has been in the headlines in the offbeat genre of films, with his award-winning documentaries on the lives and practices of indigenous tribes in India.
Once a shepherd went to graze his cattle in the forest. The shepherd found that a Sal tree had fallen. He uprooted the tree and found some colourful stones beneath in the soil, which he carried back to his home. At night villagers heard the roar of a tiger. Worried, they wondered what had made the tiger roar and began to think that they must have done something wrong. The villagers assembled for a meeting, where the shepherd confessed to finding the stones in the forest which he had carried back home. He was asked to return the colourful stones to the place where he found them. The shepherd obliged. Eventually, the tiger stopped roaring at night.
This is but one of thousands of tales that have been prevalent in the tribal areas of India for several centuries, if not millennia. Seral Murmu says that from these stories, he understood the belief and reverence his people had for the forests. “If you harm the forest, it will give you a warning signal. If you do not rectify your mistake, the forest will make sure you get what you deserve,” he adds.[1]
