Abstract	This article is about children's moral reasoning about illness and supernatural retribution in a rural tribal community in Chhattisgarh, central India. Detailed ethnographic analysis is devoted to the norms and experiences within which conceptions about illness causality and morality are formed. The author is principally interested in the discrepancy between children's and adults' knowledge about moral accountability; in how children make sense of this knowledge in relation to their own moral worlds and their entry into adulthood; and in what this tells us about the transformation of both knowledge and persons. (Contains 9 notes.) (As Provided).
