Cover Story

Cheated Out of
their
Own Land

The Garos of Pirgacha are a vibrant community, celebrating their traditional festivals and struggling to keep their culture alive. However, in spite of their impressive record of educating themselves and giving women the economic freedom absent in most communities, they are an indigenous people under immense threat. Over the decades, this peaceful community has been cheated out of their most precious possession--their land.
