Cheated
Out of
their
Own Land
 |
The Garos of Pirgacha are a vibrant community,
celebrating their traditional festivals and struggling
to keep their culture alive. However, in spite of their
impressive record of educating themselves and giving women
the economic freedom absent in most communities, they
are an indigenous people under immense threat. Over the
decades, this peaceful community has been cheated out
of their most precious possession--their land. |
