ON November 12, Shimla, the state capital of Himachal Pradesh, witnessed a massive rally, perhaps the largest by mass organisations in the state. The rally was organised by six main organisations of the people; these were the All India Kisan Sabha, Centre of Indian Trade Unions, All India Democratic Women’s Association, Students Federation of India, Democratic Youth Federation of India and the Seb Utpadak Sangh (Apple Growers Association).
Here it needs to be mentioned that more than half the participants were women.
