Abstract
The application of the Social Analysis Systems (SAS) dynamic method, helped the Katkari people develop an understanding of their problems and assisted them in generating proposals that the community felt enabled to act on. Legal title is currently held by non-tribal landowners; government officials do not act; the Katkari people (India) do not apply consistent pressure on officials to exert their rights to housing and to land. Families, including children, enter into bonded labor with their families on brick kilns. This perpetuates their bondage and limits their awareness of legal rights and rules that could help them.
