Talk:Katkari people

Please provide
Please provide the original text from which the following has been paraphrased. "The Katkari struggle to remain in their hamlets provides an important contrast to the land tenure problems facing urban slum dwellers or Adivasis in remote areas displaced by large-scale development projects."

The making of catechu declined sharply after independence when the felling of khair trees was banned by the Forest Department. Later restrictions by the Forest Department on dalhi or shifting cultivation undermined the forest-based livelihoods of the Katkari. These interventions left the Katkari with few options but to move seasonally in search of employment and new places to live. ( Katkari Labour in Charcoal-Making Madhusudan Dattatraya Sathe pp. 1565-1567 (3 pages)) I read the cited source on Jistor, I didn't find text that supports your statement. Would you be able to sort this out? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 13:45, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

justification of latest edit
This is to justify the latest edit
 * 1) Link to Kolam removed, Kolam are a people not a painting
 * 2) Adivasi is a vague term, "Scheduled tribe" a more matter of fact one, there is another term vanvasi, used in the same context. Why use a plethora of ambiguous terms.
 * 3) Changed PTG to PVTG
 * 4) We need to a direct source that says Katkari in Mah. = Kathodi in Gujarat, so removed ref. to PTG: Gujarat.
