Ajitha

On the night of November 24 1968, a group of sixty determined to change the world, ran over a plice station in the front of Western Ghats .One of them was a girl,young enough to be a senior secondary student .The group hacked to death a wireless opertaor,fatally wounded an inspector and then went on to distribute the hoarded wealth of feudal lords who had made slaves of tribal women and men,trading them in village fairs and binding them in perpetual debt .They were declared dacoits by th emedia,the young woman's photograph was splashed everywhere as a warning and also to help law abiding citizens to give her up.Soon the people for whomthey had started the revolution got hold of a few of them including the woman.Police men raining blows on her asked her to shed her saree an her woolen pullover .in the courtyard of the local police station ,on a raised platform where the police men hoist the national falg, they paraded the teenager in her blouse and trousers which she was wearing under her saree. They called out to the huge crowd and said "This is how she roamed around the forests with men ",thus pronouncing here a whore .With police men alla round her laughing,adusing and prodding the crowd ,she stood next to the flag staff trembling,helpless,yet undefeated .She glared at the horizon from where her sun failed to rise.



Stop to think and think not to stop.The zeal in us is never to be lost.
