What do you know about sacrifice of Kalibai?

a) Kalibai was a young girl from Dungarpur, who was a student at the tribal school of Nanbhai Khent at Rastapal. The state had ordered the closure of all schools post the Quit India movement, but Nanbhai had refused to follow the orders.

b) So the police came to Nanbhai’s resident and arrested him. They beat him up and he succumbed to injuries.

c) The police thought Nanbhai’s death would be a deterrent. However, his colleague Sanghabhai Bhil, continued to teach at the school.

d) This enraged the police and they arrested Sanghabhai. They tied him to a jeep and dragged him across the streets.

e) The young student, Kalibai, however was not taking this without a fight. She ran behind the bus and captured Sanghabhai from the police. However, as she bent down to pick up her teacher, the police shot her in the back.

f) The Bhils were angered by the merciless killing of a school girl. They gathered outside the police station with weapons, and forced the police to release all prisoners. Today, the idol of Kalibai stands in Rastapal.
