Dedicating today's picture to the indomitable spirit of my neighbours from the @koratagiri Village. Camping by the side of the Hosur-Denkannikottai street for the last 4 days in incessant rain, women, children & men and now police in riot gear. #IndiAves @mkstalin @ptrmadurai 1/5 
Driven to desperation by the incessant quarrying around the village, the villagers, in early April, had refused to send their children to school. The issue was resolved then by what soon would prove to be hollow promises. A road, cutting through the village was re-done 2/5
And lorries laden with gravel, once again given permission to travel day and night. Now the argument is that the villagers have no right to object to movement on these roads. Gravel needed by the rest of the citizens is allowed to ruin their lives. 3/5
I wish I could be more active but my very very sick husband and his care means that I can but lend my voice, I am asking my friends here to amplify this please. 4/5
As the rain seems to be stopping, I can still hear the crushers working away, now emboldened with what they believe is an impending failure of the strike. Please, I am asking, support these people, in any which way you can. 5/5
