Bhopal, Oct 22 (UNI) Art lovers in the Madhya Pradesh capital are in for a veritable treat as more than a dozen tribals from this state will create paintingss, at a camp here, centred on those historic days when the deprived and exploited 'adivasi' community raised banners of revolt against the British Raj.

This is possibly the first event of its kind in India and will take place between November 1 and 7.

''The subjects will include the Sanyasi Revolt (Bengal and Bihar), Chakma Revolt (Northeast), Chero Revolt (Palamau) and Bagdi Nayak Revolt (Medinipur),'' Swaraj Sansthan Directorate chief Shriram Tiwari told UNI. The Directorate will exhibit the paintingss in the near future.

India's struggle for independence and Hindustan Socialist Republican Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad will be among themes at a two-day exhibition, beginning on October 25, of the world-renowned Buddhist pilgrim centre Sanchi.

''Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev and Jatindranath Das will also be subjects.

The camps are a tribute to the freedom fighters. Books on the independence struggle abound but pictorial material is comparitively rare,'' Mr Tiwari added.
