DANTEWADA (CHHATTISGARH): 'Phoolon se nit hasna seekho, bhawaron se nit gaana ... Learn to smile from the flowers, and sing from the bees).' The cheerful lines of a popular Hindi rhyme are seen on a bright wall poster inside the bleak confines of a village school in Dantewada. But the lines are wasted. There is not a soul in sight, except a thin wiry man who introduces himself as Roshan Kumar Kharashu, shikshakarmi, grade 2, the teacher in charge of Gufadi primary school.   "This is mahua season. The children are skipping school to help their parents pick flowers," Kharushu says. But a look at the attendance register shows all of them are marked present.
