BISALPUR BANDH SANGHARSH SAMITITONKRAJASTHAN
It has been 8 years since the dam has been built and people have been submerged. Sarkar gave people an assurance that they would be given compensation. People took this at face value. The sarkar betrayed them. They have neither land, houses, or food to eat. It has been 4 years since 65 villages have been submerged. We do not get groundnuts, bajra, maize, jowar and peas—nothing at all. We are troubled…
We have not got land for land. All the women in the villages—women like Kalibai, Mangibai—all got together and decided to go to the Narmada Bhawan. We thought let’s form an organisation. Let’s work together so we launched a struggle. 80,000 of us. We won.
