Public Rally against Salwa Judum & Displacement in Dantewada

On 14th November 2006, a huge rally was taken out in Dantewada to protest against Salwa Judum and illegal land acquisition by private firms like Tata and Essar.Adivasis from as far as Konta (200km from Dantewada) walked for days to participate in it. Originally the district administration denied permission to the CPI , under whose auspices the rally was conducted. They had to relent when Chhattisgarh high court asked them to allow it. This is a video of that rally. You can hear the slogans, ‘Salwa Judum band Karo”, “Mahendra Karma chor hai” and “Essar hai-hai”.
