The right to live freely: Resisting caste, displacement and bonded labour
Issue #3
•
Across this edition, we examine how caste, displacement and exploitative labour restrict the choices available to individuals and communities.
Through accounts from Malanpur, Naya Balarpur and Gwalior, we reflect on resistance, the pursuit of land and freedom, and the role of knowledge, education and collective support in reclaiming dignity.
