A massive protest rally involving tens of thousands of India's
landless farmers has arrived in New Delhi. They have been marching to
the country's capitol for nearly a month. The rally called "Janadesh"
or "the peoples' verdict" began in the central Indian city of Gwalior
on October 2. The marchers claim their land is slowly being taken by
powerful development groups, displacing thousands.
