Chattisgarh sterilizations

Good point. There needs to be a thorough investigation.

Their women are totally bindaas, and perhaps the only tribe in India where a woman would marry one guy after another, live with only the latest one at a time though (I think). I am pretty sure they were chattisgarhi. Excuse my ignorance if I am wrong.

I remember watching/interacting with one group closely when they worked in our house. The leader women openly introduced her kids as - 'this is from my first aadmi (man/husband), these are from the second, and this one from my third one'. She was so pretty, maybe in her early thirties, sitting like she has no care in the world, while smoking a beedi.

Tablets linked to the deaths of more than a dozen women who visited a sterilisation camp in eastern India are likely to have contained a chemical compound commonly used in rat poison, a senior official in Chhattisgarh state said on Saturday. Preliminary tests of the antibiotic ciprocin tablets were found to contain zinc phosphide, Siddhartha Pardeshi, the chief administrator for the Bilaspur district told Reuters.
