"We will not leave Niyamgiri. Without our mountain, our god, there is no life for us; we will resist the forced expulsion till death. Just as a fish cannot survive outside of water, the Kondh cannot survive without Niyamgiri."
During that period I have lobby Government officials in India, spearheaded a letter campaign to chief Minister of Orissa Naveen Patnaik, attended and spoken at two shareholders meetings in London, delivered an Amnesty International petition letter signed by over 30,000 people to chairman Anil Agarwal at the last AGM and written several articles in the UK and US media about their plight.
I would be grateful if you could post the links where you can find the articles:
