  • A baby sleeps inside the house of Mr. Amar Singh Verma, who is the "sanchuluk" or computer operator in the agricultural village of Siradi, about 65 kilometers from Bhopal, India March 1, 2005. The company ITC has installed solar power and computers in the villages so farmers can trade their crops online and shopping malls next to the agricultural markets where they bring their harvest. Already their lifestyles are improving as they are able to communicate with the outside world, have electricity and most importantly wait for good prices to sell their crops. Ami Vitale

  • RUKUM DISTRICT, NEPAL, APRIL 17, 2004:  Nepalese villagers gossip next to the small local shop in Rukum District April 17, 2004. Ill-equipped security forces in politically unstable Nepal are unable to control  Maoist rebels, who continue to abduct thousands of villagers for forcible indoctrination and military training.  The Maoists mainly target students, teachers and youths. The victims are usually released after a few days of indoctrination, unless they actively resist the "training attempts," in which case the rebels torture or sometimes kill them. Maoist insurgents have capture most of the Western part of Nepal in their attempt to make it a Communist State. Analysts and diplomats estimate there about 15,000-20,000 hard-core Maoist fighters, including many women, backed by 50,000 "militia".  In their remote strongholds, they collect taxes and have set up civil administrations, and people's courts. They also raise money by taxing villagers and foreign trekkers.  They are tough in Nepal's rugged terrain, full of thick forests and deep ravines and the 150,000 government soldiers are not enough to combat this growing movement that models itself after the Shining Path of Peru.

  • RUKUM DISTRICT, NEPAL, APRIL 21, 2004:  Maoist insurgents visit a local shop in Rukum district April 21, 2004 weeks after their attack on government troops in Beni when they overran the district headquarters, looting a bank, destroying the jail and torching government office buildings. The government said that 32 security personnel died in the clash and 37 were kidnapped. The clash was one of the deadliest since 1996 when fighting began to topple the constitutional monarchy and install a communist republic. The guerrillas' strength is hard to gauge. Analysts and diplomats estimate there about 15,000-20,000 hard-core fighters, including many women, backed by 50,000 "militia".  In their remote strongholds, they collect taxes and have set up civil administrations, and "people's courts" to settle rows. They also raise money by taxing villagers and foreign trekkers. Though young, they are fearsome fighters and  specialise in night attacks and hit-and-run raids. They are tough in Nepal's rugged terrain, full of thick forests and deep ravines and the 150,000 government soldiers are not enough to combat this growing movement that models itself after the Shining Path of Peru.
