 The Great March of landless people, Jan Satyagraha, started its way to Delhi

 JAN SATYAGRAHA YATRA 2012 (GWALIOR TO DELHI)

  

50, 000 people, adivasis (tribals), dalits and other marginalized communities of India left the Mela Ground in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to start the Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice on October 3. On this first day, they covered 22 km, taking the national highway leading to Delhi. See Route Map ]
The Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice aims to give a voice to the poorest communities of India that are asking the right to live in dignity. The main demands of this huge non-violent action, directly inspired by Gandhi, are a new land reform policy which would guarantee access to land and livelihood resources, and a law establishing the right to shelter.
