In news from India, about 25,000 protesters have arrived in Delhi after marching 200 miles to demand the redistribution of land to the poor and landless. The protesters began marching on October 2, the birthday of independence leader Mahatma Gandhi. March organizers said 40 percent of Indians are now landless and 23 percent of them are in abject poverty. Many of the marchers are farmers who have been forced from their land to make way for government-backed economic projects.
