A Water Protest



The photo above from the Wall Street Journal shows a rather unique form of protest: staying in the water. The people pictured have been in the water continuously for fourteen days. They want the Indian government to compensate them for the homes that have been submerged by the opening of a dam. The dam was opened because the river being dammed is flowing at dangerous levels.  The people claim that the government is violating a Supreme Court order to compensate them.
