đź’¨ Abstract

The article discusses the struggle of the Bhopas, traditional priest-singers of Rajasthan, who play the Ravanhatta, an ancient instrument believed to be created by the demon king Ravana. Due to landlessness and climate change, the Bhopas are forced to migrate to towns like Meerut and Muzaffarnagar to survive.
