About 100 workers, who quit Signal International's shipyard in Mississippi after alleging maltreatment, began a Gandhian-style satyagraha march from New Orleans to Washington to protest the Indian government's alleged failure to protect them ... The workers, who have also filed a lawsuit against the company, are marching through areas once known for racism, echoing African-American activists' march to the capital to win basic human rights, as well as Mahatma Gandhi's famous Dandi march.

"Mahatma Gandhi's salt satyagraha exposed the tyranny of the British tax system. Our satyagraha will unmask the US guest worker programme as a system of bonded labour," workers' leader Rajan Pazhambalakode said at a rally in New Orleans before starting their march.
