A couple of years ago I was casually talking to a fellow social activist during a meeting related to coal mining. A few minutes before the day's proceedings ended, a suggestion was made for follow up actions – as is usually the case in many civil society meetings. The idea suggested was the need to put together a database on a website of social, environment and human rights activists across India so that it would be readily available for anyone who wanted to know about issues in a particular region. While this was limited to resistance around coal. . .
