Dear friends, As part of a new initiative in rehabilitating Chithralekha, whose autorikshaw (the only means of livelihood purchased on a loan under JRY scheme) had been burned by unidentified persons in December 2005, there is an offer by a Delhi based Dalit organization for advancing her some funds to enable rebuilding life by purchasing and plying a new autorikshaw. The offer has to be accepted by responsible persons who would re-coupe the sum through individual contributions collected state wide. More importantly, Chithralekha, a dalit woman who refuses to be cowed down by the unwrit codes of Caste and Gender as practiced in this Northern district of Kerala, needs to be assured of protection in the work place, despite all those pretensions of unions that may claim ignorance or non complicity in incidents of playing up the past hostilities. Dr.D.Surendranath of Kannur has invited all persons who keep genuine concern in this issue, to a meeting at Rainbow Lodge, Kannur (Attached to the muncipal bus stand complex) on 29th August at 4PM. Persons based at Kannur , Kasargode and Kozhikkode districts especially may please find some time to make it to Kannur, despite their engagements elsewhere.
