C. K. Janu
Chekot Karian Janu is an Indian social activist, the leader of the Adivasi Gothra Maha Sabha, a social movement that has been agitating since 2001 for redistribution of land to the landless adivasis in Kerala state, South India. The movement has now positioned itself under the aegis of the Dalit-Adivasi Action Council.
== Early years ==
C. K. Janu was born in Thrissileri Chekot colony,〔(CK Janu )〕 near Vellamunda, a tribal village, in Wayanad district, Kerala to poor adivasi parents who were from Ravula community, called ''Adiya'' due to their historical background, one of the several adivasi groups in Kerala who used to be indentured labourers. Adiya literally means slave and are mostly landless agricultural labourers. She did not have any formal education but learned to read and write through a literacy campaign that was conducted in Wayanad, an area in the north of Kerala, bordering Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.〔(Tale of a tribal struggle for land )〕
Janu started her career as a domestic servant at a local school teacher's house, at the age of seven where she spent 5 years. By the age of 13,〔(Indian Dalit Muslims' Voice | – A voice against upper caste atrocities | Page 64 )〕 she started working as a labourer for a daily wage of INR 2 (3.5 US cents). Later, she learned tailoring and started a small shop which, subsequently, had to be closed down due to financial constraints.〔(C K Janu: 'Experience is my guide' )〕
