The Great March of
landless people, Jan Satyagraha, started its way to Delhi
JAN SATYAGRAHA
YATRA 2012 (GWALIOR
TO DELHI)
50, 000 people, adivasis (tribals), dalits and other marginalized
communities of India left the Mela Ground in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to start
the Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice on October 3. On this first day, they
covered 22 km, taking the national highway leading to Delhi. [ See
Route Map ]
The Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice aims to give a voice to the
poorest communities of India that are asking the right to live in dignity. The
main demands of this huge non-violent action, directly inspired by Gandhi, are
a new land reform policy which would guarantee access to land and livelihood resources,
and a law establishing the right to shelter.

India banks on Mahatma to connect with Egypt
India banks on Mahatma to connect
with Egypt
The overriding spirit of the Tahrir Square
revolution as millions of young Egyptians protested peacefully to change the
decades-old Hosni Mubarak regime was of “silmayyiya” (peaceful). India,
attempting to engage a new Egypt, is seeking to connect the spirit of the
revolution with Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings.
