He has so far been able to free 300 bighas worth more than Rs.20 crore. Now, the battle continues for the remaining 3,700 bighas.
Ruthless plunder by land sharks and their musclemen in Chausana had changed the course of Singh's life. He could not tolerate the fact that they could grab land from the poor with impunity.
Initially, Singh, who taught economics at a government school, had ignored the injustice like a typical middle-class man. But an incident changed his life. “One day, while returning home from school, I came across a little boy asking his mother whether he would get food that evening; he was pleading for roti.”
That woman, who used to lead a comfortable life, had apparently lost all her assets to the land mafia. “The next day, I quit my job and vowed that I will do something for my village, something to get the land freed,” says Singh.
