A Bonda Girl is on her way to market with brooms she has made. The Bondas are probably the most primitive of the hilltribe groups living in Orissa – an Indian State located in the east of the subcontinent. Bonda ladies wear beads, a short skirt, and very little else. Bonda men still hunt with bow and arrow.
Yes – that’s a good idea. But don’t try to photograph the Bonda men. They are all drunk by 9 o’clock and they actually do carry a bow and arrow which they’ve been known to use on occasion.
thats so sad, everywhere the Bloody alcohol, here we have a very very big problem with the ‘local’ Indigenous, its sooo sad, thanks michael, keep up your wonderfull work :) greetings
