Compensation for a Shabar tribals killing is sweet victory for the Magsaysay winner

Why have you made Budhan's killing a test case?
What has been the impact in tribal Bengal?
When are you going to write about this in detail?
Why are denotified tribes, often treated as criminals by the British, still harassed in Independent India ?
Does such activism interfere with your writing?
Are tribals in Bengal better off than elsewhere ?
How responsive is the West Bengal government towards tribal demands?
What do you find disappointing during your efforts?
Do you think you've brought about improvement in the tribals' situation?
Any message for social activists?
