...work with the Dongria deny that the Maoists have any presence within the community. The Dongria's battle has been peaceful so far, and any hint of Maoist influence would quickly draw the force of the state police and paramilitaries, who are in the middle of a months-long anti-Maoist offensive. While the Dongria possess bows and arrows, they "are not violent people," says Samantara. "But if the government uses violence, they will retaliate. That is my biggest fear." If the helicopters head into the Dongria Kondh's abode, there won't be any fearsome, winged Ikran swooping...

It was the signature line of her speech, which rocked the joint - and then, slowly, began to rock the national political community. The speech was inspired drivel, a series...
Traffic in northern Tehran was incredibly clear on the 31st anniversary of the country's Islamic revolution. A trip that usually takes an hour and a half was traversed in 30 minutes. The districts in the area were the source of some of the more fervent anti-government protesters after the country's disputed presidential election in June.
