| The Warlis or Varlis are an indigenous tribe or Adivasis, living in the mountainous as well as coastal areas along the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. |
| Most of the Adivasis, whose ancestors migrated to Assam more than 100 years ago, work on tea plantations. |
| Whether Adivasis are Hindus or not has always been a question of great controversy. |
| This grove of trees is sacred to the Adivasis and in the past was used during many ceremonies and religious events. |
| In other words, there are stark differences between the cultures of Adivasis and Dalits. |
