A sample dialogue between a colonial forester and adivasi is given below:

Colonial forester: Who are you? And what are you doing here in the forest?

Adivasi: Sir, I am a villager. I live in a nearby village. I have come here to get some food and hunt rabbits.

Colonial Forester: Are you not aware that hunting is prohibited now.

Adivasi: My kids have been hungry for the last five days. I have come here to feed my children.

Colonial Forester: I do not know anything. I just know that hunting in the forest is illegal. You will surely be punished.

Adivasi: This forest belongs to us. We earn money from this forest. If we are stopped from hunting then what will happen to us and our family? We will die of hunger.

Colonial Forester: No, absolutely not. Shut up. We have to file a complaint against you. Come with me.
