"Tell them about our struggle"

"About the demon who came from the outside and ate our world"

Like many in Kucheipadar, Lima Majhi joined the movement as a young boy. Unlike Bhagbana, he does not come from a family of dhundka singers. Lima is very popular in the village and a good mobiliser among the womenfolk and the youth. He dedicated his life to the struggle and when the movement was at its height, he was a part of the core group that decided on the course of action and organised events.

Lima's song, Zamin Chori ba nahi is one of two songs written by Bhagbana Majhi. Movement songs were not only sung by a few specialists, but had become part of a common voice. This song, originally written in the primary phase of the movement, asserts that unity is strength and that people must be unified across the villages. One of Lima's lines that reads, 'immortal nectar will be turned into poison', can be interpreted on many levels. Bauxite rock formed over 40 million years can be demolished and turned into aluminium within decades.

LYRICS

LIMA

brothers and sisters we will come together

we will make unity our weapon

and lead the heroic struggle

we will call people from all the villages

and hold meetings in the sacred meeting places by the water

to discuss our joys and sorrows

we will form committees in all the villages

we will mobilize everyone in the country

we will maintain peace in our country

this alien government has come

to snatch away our motherland

and set up a factory here

our air and water will be poisoned

it will take immortal nectar away in exchange for poison

it will harrass us

DELHI SULTANATE

queen of England East India company

nowadays twenty more company come for me

names like Utkal - Norsk and Hydro

Aditya Birla and Larsen Toubro

death -- terrorise we community

blooshed - police -- beat with impunity

shot a bust -- fi scatter we strength and unity

remember -- them beat woman with a rifle butt?

meet me the upon the beautiful river

bloodstains wash regroup and recover

news I hear deliver the spine shiver

poison pill -- a mek mi blood turn bitter

because you see

the courts nah hear we plea

and policemen threaten to shoot you

plant informers in every family - they want to eat the roots to

you see

2004 was the year

flag marches in every village square

colonial army dem a try spread fear

and too many innocent youths them disappear

LIMA

brothers and sisters we will come together

we will make unity our weapon

and we will maintain peace
