Broken dreams in India


This is a picture of a girl in high school whose house was grounded down by the Indian Railways bulldozers. Her family was a illegal settler on the land which belongs to the railways and the railways had warned her and many other familes who have settled on that land for years to move off. But anyway these people had no where to move and of course it is not the Governmen't problem so one fine morning she heard the demolition squad ramiing into her home.. she and her brother lost all the books certificates and their precious dream..her father allready finds it hard to meet ends hawking on the street. If you want to know more(and can read Bengali) please head over to the website of the bengali daily Ananda Bazar. If you want to help her complete high school please contact the reporters of the the bengali daily Anandabazar from Ananda Publishers at ananda@cal3.vsnl.net.in.
