Most of the struggles in which Sunil (he never used his surname) was involved were rooted in Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh, although he contributed to many wider social movements. He was a founder member and coordinator of the Kisan Adivasi Sangathan, which has been in the thick of many struggles of tribals in that area.
