Description: Dhol was a periodical conceptualized and edited by a group of adivasis who decided to have a periodical of their own for inter-community as well as intra-community communication and dialogue. The magazine was published in eleven adivasi languages (Rathwi, Kunkana, Pavri, Dehwali, Ahirani, Panchmahali Bhili, Dungri Bhili, Bhantu, Chaudhari, Garasiya and Gor Banjara), and two non-tribal languages (Marathi and Gujarati). The magazine generated a tradition of writing among speech communities that followed an oral tradition. The magazine was both read and read aloud within the various communities. The magazine revitalized these threatened languages and provided voice to silenced cultures.
