Rajendra Prasad from Sonbhadra district of Uttar Pradesh is talking to Fulbasia and Ramchandar, two adivasis in their local dialect who tell him that forest department with help from Japan is uprooting them from their land which they are working on from generations. They say no one listens to us, when we go to officers and our representatives they show us law. We tell them the only law we know that this is our land, we are using it from generations and we will not give it.
