India Bulldozes Poor Areas Ahead of G20 Summit in Delhi
-------------------------------------------------------

India is preparing to host the G20's annual summit for the first time.
The talks begin in Delhi on Saturday. For months Indian authorities have
ordered bulldozers to destroy the homes of people who live in shanties
near the G20 conference. Many displaced residents say they have no place
to go.

Khushboo Devi: "We have been living here for the last 25 to 30 years.
Where do we go now that our houses are suddenly demolished? We have no
facilities or a place to live, and we have become homeless and are on
the road. I hope the authorities get sick and die and they will be
cursed by the poor."
