Synopsis
In January 2003, tribals ''illegaly'' occupied a part of the wildlife sanctuary in Mathunga, Kerala. Forcible eviction by the police resulted in the death of one tribal and injuries to others. Leading the tribal resistance was Janu, a young woman who had mobilized their protest at the governments failure to honour their commitment to the tribals: the restoration of land alienated from them for ''development''. Dispossessed of their lands, the adivasis feared they would lose their identity and their livelihood. In this passionate account of her struggle, Janu speaks of her childhood and life in the forest, her political awakening as a party worker in the CPM, her growing disillusionment with it, and her break from it after she felt it betrayed the tribals.
