Lots of good stuff, including a tracking map and link to blog. There is also some personal information about some of the padyatris. Each person going on the march filled out a questionnaire about everything from where they were the night of the gas to what their income is today. Their lives will blow your mind. A guy named Indra in the UK does the website -- I like his description below: "wild, snake-infested jungles and ravines haunted by dacoit gangs..." Sounds pretty cool, huh? I'm still working on the fact sheets. Going crazy. I hope to be out of here by tomorrow afternoon and tumbling down the road on a bus or motorbike looking for everybody. Right now they are in Pillukhedi, sharing info and making connections with people there who have been screwed over by Coca-Cola, which has taken most of their water and destroyed what's left. It's all about connecting the dots...

Places along the route
The padyatris will be walking through some of India's remotest countryside, through wild snake infested jungles and ravines haunted by dacoit gangs. They will also be stopping in the famous cities of Gwalior, Agra and Mathura.
