The story goes back three generations -- a gory one, laced insweat and blood from the rice mills in the northern districts of Tamil Nadu. Thehusks flew out, the grain shone, hands toiled for 19 hours, their wage: lessthan a rupee per hour. They were the bonded Scheduled tribe Irulas. Bonded forlife. To them, the unlettered, the socialist revolution was a fable. And then,in 1993, the sparks were visible.
