Kinkri Devi
Kinkri Devi (30 Januari 1925 – 30 Desemba 2007) alikuwa mwanaharakati na mwanamazingira kutoka India, anayejulikana zaidi kwa kupigana vita dhidi ya uchimbaji madini haramu na uchimbaji mawe katika jimbo lake la asili la Himachal Pradesh. Hakujua kamwe kusoma au kuandika na alijifunza jinsi ya kutia sahihi jina lake miaka michache kabla ya kifo chake.[1]
Alijulikana sana kwa umaskini wake, ambao hatimaye ulipunguzwa na shirika la hisani lenye makao yake nchini Marekani la Himachal Pradesh baadaye maishani baada ya kusoma gazeti la Kipunjabi likieleza kuhusu hali yake ya maisha.[2]
