A Ganesh Nadar/Rediff.com meets the families of those killed in the police firing on Sterlite protestors in Thoothukudi, and finds a similar tale running through their lives.
On May 22 and 23, the Tamil Nadu police shot dead 13 persons in Tuticorin after the months-long anti-Sterlite protests turned violent. A month later, when A Ganesh Nadar visited the homes of a few victims, he found the families and friends still cowering under fear of the police.
