I don’t often urge action…but after watching this video, it’s hard to to just move on like nothing is happening. These people are being called the “real life” version of Avatar, the movie. If that connection makes you realize the tragedy of this situation, great. This video teaches us about a village in the mountains of India, who feel a strong connection to their beautiful lands spiritually, economically, and for survival. What right does a mining company from the UK have to take this away from them, by force if necessary? We should be fighting on their behalf to preserve not only the beautiful landscape, but this precious relationship to the land that is so rare now.
