Her writing has given Indian literature a new life and inspired two generations of writers, journalists and filmmakers. A celebrated writer and tireless activist for the last two decades, she has battled on behalf of the "de-notified" tribes of India - nomadic and tribal groups who were branded "natural criminals" by the British colonial state and who face discrimination to this day.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Informal in style, this video explores the extent to which Mahasweta's daily life and writing is dedicated to the rights of the aboriginal peoples of India.
