When our shoe wore out we wrapped leaves round our feet and kept on

An amazing true story of courage and unbreakable spirit

THE LONG WALK OF THE BHOPALI WOMEN
We must go to see the Prime Minister.
Where is be?
In Delhi...I think.
How will we get there?
We'll walk.
How far is it?
I don't know.
Which way is it?
Don't know.
How long will it take get there
Don't know.
Ok, lets go.
We just started walking. Our food soon ran out.
People were kind to us, they gave us milk and places to sleep.
They'd ask, where are you going? When they heard our story they said, we wish we could come with you. And some did.
Sometimes night cought us far from anywhere. We slept in jungles, at dawn when we woke up we would see scorpions and snakes lying crushed on the road near where we were lying.
We were warned that the bandits would kill us but the bandits sent word that they wouldn't harm us.
When he reased Delhi, we began asking people the way to the Prime Minister's bouse.
They laughed at us and said, 'Do you foolish women really think the Prime Minister of India has time for people like you?
