Tapkara massacre:
On Monday, Human Rights observers in India's Jharkand state reported that local police opened fire earlier this month, on several thousand indigenous people protesting the Koel-Karo dam project in the village of Tapkara. The February second attack left 9 people dead and injured two dozen more.
The government sponsored project would submerge 115 villages and displace over 7000 poor rural families.
PRONUNCIATON TIPS:
Jharkand= "jar-CONNED"
Koel-Karo= "ko-el KUH-ro"
Tapkara= "TOP-kuh-ruh"
