Landless Indians Marching to Delhi
About 25,000 tribal people and landless laborers from rural India have been marching to New Delhi, capital city of India. They reached New Delhi to march to the parliament house on Monday, October 29, 2007 to stage a sit-in protesting the seizure of their agricultural land by the Government of India for building industrial estates and by the corrupt politicians but the Indian police stopped them from further moving toward the parliament house. The rural Indian people heavily depend on the agricultural land for survival. The alternative to the land is to work as daily wage-earning laborers but it was very precarious. So, they have been marching to the capital city for about a month for putting pressure on the government to stop the tendency of the land grabbing both by the government and the corrupt politicians.
