This is a story of an Adivasi woman Tarika Lakra. The 32-year-old is a nurse in the Tamnar village government <http://www.kractivist.org/tag/government/> hospital in Raigarh district in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh. She once had her orchard with 27.5 acres of fertile land packed with about 300 mango trees, 400 cashew, 315 sagwan teak and 400 of the local mahua. Her father had spent his life’s savings on this piece of land, Lakra says, irrigating it and putting in two tube wells.
“Lakra’s fertile orchard now belongs to JSPL. But her land was purloined, not purchased, she says. In May 2003, Lakra went out to her orchard to check on the harvest, only to find a mountain of debris dumped on the land. “I thought it was a mistake,” she says. Though Lakra had received a company notice asking for her land, she had not yet made a decision to sell. But when she went to her farm, a group of thugs stopped her at her gate, claiming that the property belonged to JSPL. http://www.kractivist.org/how-jindal-tortured-an-adivasi-woman-a-nurse-in-govt-hospital-to-acquire-land-vaw-wtfnews/ -- Adv Kamayani Bali Mahabal +919820749204 skype-lawyercumactivist Hey folks, coined this term ” Kracktivism “, check out my blog *http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/ <http://www.kractivist.org/kracktivism-2/>* Blog for Political prisoners https://indiapoliticalprisoners.wordpress.com Blog for Girl child- http://fassmumbai.wordpress.com/ Blog for Kashmir -http://kashmirsolidaritymumbai.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/Kracktivist https://www.facebook.com/kamayani *I carry a torch in one hand And a bucket of water in the other: With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven And put out the flames of Hell So that voyagers to God can rip the veils And see the real goal.......
