February 19, 2003: the day when a ruthless State with all its brutal force suppressed the genuine cause of the weak and the marginalised. It was on this day that the forces of the State mercilessly went on a rampage on the tribals at Muthanga in Kerala’s Wayanad district, leading to the death (officially) of one Adivasi and a policeman.
The wounds, both physical and psychological, caused by the bloody events remain unhealed. Lots of tribals who were wounded in the police action are struggling to get back to normal life. They are the living martyrs of State brutality.
