Narsingh Chouhan and other farmers who were displaced by Jobat dam in Alirajpur district in MP and have been farming on Govt land in Bedla village from 3 years say Govt is again trying to evacuate them from this land. Govt has showed them land which is occupied by people. This year Govt also gave them electricity connection and they paid Rs 26,000 for 3 motors and now Govt has cut the connection. They ask why is Govt behaving like this? Narsinghji@09179613420

Shivsharan Singh from Sonbhadra district in UP says when Nehru came to start work on Rihand dam in 1954 he said this place will be next Switzerland but today it has turned a living hell for locals. Many were displaced. The area supplies 12,500 MW of electricity to country but locals get it hardly for few hours in day. Agriculture production is going down. People suffer from severe pollution. This place should help us define definition of development. SinghJi@9918440665

Lamtu Singh from Pushparajgarh tahsil of Anuppur district in Madhya Pradesh says he recently got a chance to visit some hilly areas nearby and saw adivasis doing Bewar ( shifting cultivation). They grow at least 21 variety of crops. He says earlier our ancestors grew all these crops but they got stopped by intervention of forest dept. Now they do daily labor and eat rice after buying. He will now work on growing the old seeds he has got. Lamtuji is at 08305459166

आहा हे हाय जीना मुसकिल है यार
जिये ला जमीन नहीं मरना है रे ।
भूमहीन को भूमि चाहिए कब्जा के लड़ाई रे भैया- कब्जा के लड़ाई
बैगा भाइयो को जमीन दे दो तभी होगी भलाई
जीना मुस्किल है रे जिये ला जमीन नहीं मरना है रे ।
आदिवासी बैगा भाई बसे जंगल में आज – भैया बसे जंगल में आज ,
वन विभाग ने भगा रहे है कहा छिपाई लाज
जीना मुस्किल है रे जिये ला जमीन नहीं मरना है रे ।
