Truth Force, a 64 page booklet of writing and photographs from the Chhattisgarh yatra is available from AVI for £4 (inc p&p). The first two chapters can be previewed here. |
In January 2003 the people’s movement Ekta Parishad embarked on a month-long padyatra (foot-march) through the state of Chhattisgarh. The state, carved out from Madhya Pradesh in central India in November 2000, is rich in mineral and forest wealth. But for the adivasi (indigenous population) in this region, independent statehood has changed little. In the tide of globalisation, industrialisation and tourism expansion the government has diverted land and wealth away from the masses, while state and corporate muscle has polarised age-old communities. |
