That's disgusting, what can we do to stop this and protect this woman and no doubt more like her.

Why can't one women be enough to prove inequalities across the world?

God bless Mukhtar Mai!

That is a crime against humanity! Why should development be more important that people themselves. It makes me feel sick, the indigenous people have a right to there way of living and why should that be interrupted. It makes me so angry.

Well Done Holmer Green - sounds like the group is going strong.
Happy Christmas

nice dear friends

good work the banners are brilliant :)

Agarwal: As far as we are concerned, that mine is not even in our name. The mine belongs to the government and we have just one agreement with them.

This is laughable. The mine and refinery due to their close locations must be linked as one Vedanta project in the manufacture of aluminium. Why build an alumina refinery next to a mountain of bauxite ? The refinery got the all clear the mine luckily has not.

No doubt if they do get the go ahead any environmental impact of the mine will be under somebody else's name as well, just like BP tried to do in the Gulf of Mexico.

Agarwal : I can do only what is right. I am looking to put India on the fast track. For us, for 25 years no mining has taken place and it is the best thing to do for our growth to manufacture or to produce Aluminium.

How is not consulting and infringing peoples human rights the right thing to do ? Also have the whole Indian population been consulted on the question to this being the best thing to do to "fast track" Indian growth or is this a one man crusade ?
