Vyavasayakuli (Agricultural labour) – In sun and rain you toil endlessly only to fill the granaries of the Dora and not your own stomach. Day and night, you toil but you have not enough to eat. You have no time for wife and child! For all your time are the Doras. You have no house! You have no land. You dont know your wage. You dont know if you can work tomorrow. You go to lift water! Your wife goes to transplant. What about the children in the frail hut by the tank when the storm breaks? With all hope, you till the banjar land. But the dora’s cunning steals it from you. And all your labour is in vain. For land. For food. For a just return for your labour. For ending the robbery of thedora. Rytu, unite and struggle.
