Download Soni Sori – India’s fearless tribal leader

The famous novelist and social activist Arundhati Roy has said of Soni Sori: "she is absolutely extraordinary, fearless and tremendously articulate. She speaks up for those who are being crushed." But tribal activist Soni hadn't intended to become a public figure. In the early 2000s, she was living a quiet life with her family in Bastar, a district in the Central Indian state of Chattisgargh - but when her husband was arrested and imprisoned, everything changed.
