Portrait of a man and children belonging to the Birhor tribe, Jharkhand, India. They are standing in front of the one room house that the Indian government has built for them. The name of the owner is written in red on the wall. Formerly, Birhor were nomads, they were living on hunting and gathering. After the Indian independence in 1947, the government has tried to settle them by giving them lands and bullocks. But for many of them, this integration attempt has failed. They are now living in dire poverty
