I have worked very hard to supply the woven
cloth in time, but received very little payment
than what was agreed to by the contractor.
Since, other weavers had got less payment, on
the afternoon of 4th June, I went alongwith my
partner and other weavers to the contractor's
house for asking for better wages for our
weaving.
Our demands were scornfully refused and we
were even threatened that no more work would
be given to us if we did not work at the same
rate as what was paid to us.
Some of my fellow weavers got angry at this
and broke the windowpanes of the contractor's
house, barged inside and damaged his furniture
and crockery.
Some weavers also broke open his store of
woven cloth and tore it all up. Seeing this, the
contactor ran away from the house which his
family to a nearby village, but there also he did
not get shelter.
Next day, the contactor returned with soldiers
from the army, who fired at our group of
weavers, killing eleven of us. I was injured in the
leg by a bullet and now, I am nursing my
wounds as I write this.
