	“There is demand for our products in the African continent. If a person invests say Rs 5 lakh on raw materials (hibiscus powder, oil extraction, gooseberry, Ayurvedic plants, etc.), they have a chance to double or triple it in a matter of 3-6 months in African countries. But in India, you don’t have such a market and business. We do sell online and promote products on social media, including Facebook and YouTube,” said Anil Kumar, a community member.		“There is demand for our products in the African continent.

		+	[https://epaper.timesgroup.com/article-share?article=30_04_2023_007_005_cap_TOI Niranjan Kaggere, April 30, 2023: ''The Times of India'']
		+
		+
		+	Ranjan, a native of Channagiri in Davanagere district of Karnataka, had landed in Sudan’s capital Khartoum about seven months ago hoping to make a fortune out of selling herbal cosmetics in the African country. Little did he know that he would end up being caught in the middle of a civil war. When he was evacuated by the Indian Embassy officials, he had almost given up hope.
		+
		+	Ranjan is one of the several thousand Hakki-Pikki tribals from Karnataka who have been making the trek to Sudan for many years carrying herbs, spices and ayurvedic medicines.
		+	The name Hakki-Pikki (which translates to ‘bird catchers’) is one of the semi-nomadic tribes of Karnataka that migrated from parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan several centuries ago in search of game (hunting) as the forest was their primary source of livelihood. “Though the Forest Rights Act, 2006 recognises the rights of forest-dwelling communities, these rights were diluted. Deprived of their livelihood, they took to selling ayurvedic medicines made from forest produce, and even plastic flowers and plants,” says anthropology professor MR Gangadhar from the University of Mysore, adding that their dialect is called Vaghri which is a unique mix of Gujarati, Rajasthani, Marathi, Telugu and Kannada. Mysuru district has some of the largest settlements of these tribals besides a few pockets in Bengaluru and Davanagere-Shivamogga districts.
		+
		+	So how did they end up in Africa? PS Nanjunda Swamy of Karnataka Adivasi Budakattu Hakki-Pikki Jananga and a gram panchayat member at Ummattur in Hunsur taluk in Mysuru district narrates their journey. “Almost two decades ago, a few of the tribals from Trichy in Tamil Nadu went to Gulf countries and gained a foothold there. As matrimonial alliances happened within the family, many in Karnataka also flew to these countries in search of livelihood. Even though initially we had knowledge only about herbs, our association with Keralites helped us in making medicines and oils from these herbs. A few of the African clients in these countries who were familiar with our products invited us to tap the growing market there,” says Swamy. Gradu- ally, the Hakki Pikkis began getting their family members, friends and relatives there. ”Every year about 3,000 to 4,000 tribals from the southern states visit Africa for business,” he adds. While the tribe members may not have fancy degrees, almost all of them have passports.
		+
		+	R Puneeth Kumar, president of Karnataka Hakki-Pikki Budakattu Sanghatane who spent six years in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo selling products like hibiscus oil and soapnut powder, says that most tribals go through agents in Mumbai and land in African countries on tourist visas for two to three months. “Many African airlines allow luggage up to 40-50 kgs and we take medicine powder and spices. Usually they do not object at immigration points. But if they do, we bribe them and clear the baggage. ”
		+
		+	The tribals travel around African cities visiting government offices, factories and shopping centers to market their products. Among the hot sellers are massage and hair oils as well as herbal aphrodisiacs. “While a bottle of hair oil in India costs Rs 100, it is sold for Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 there. When stocks go dry, we arrange for family members to visit us with products. ” It’s not without risks. “The local police always chase us for trading on tourist visas. There have been cases when police have put us in jails and we had to pay thousands of dollars as a bribe,” explains Puneeth.
		+
		+	“If one is not caught, one can earn about Rs 50 to 60 lakh a year after investing about Rs 4 to 5 lakh. Many tribals come here for a minimum of six months. Others go on to stay for three to four years. On returning to India, the first objective of many is to buy automobiles, build houses etc. When others in the community see this lavish lifestyle, they also aspire for it,” Puneeth says.
		+
		+	Back home, some tribe members have had skirmishes with the law for illegal poaching, robbery and burglary. “The community is deprived of education. We appeal to the government to at least train and certify us in traditional medicines so our ayurvedic and naturopathy products get a bigger market overseas, and the community can prosper,” he says.
