Rulers against Empowerment\'

KOCHI: The leader of the Adivasi land struggle, C.K. Janu, has said the ruling class fears that if the Adivasis are given lands, they will become politically empowered. This was because, she said, the politics of land was essentially linked to the power politics. Since the ruling class did not want the Adivasis to enter power politics, they were denied the right to lands, she said after accepting the K.A. Kunjila memorial Stree Sakthi award at a ceremony here on Tuesday
