Aug. 1, 2003 | LUCKNOW, India (AP) -- As far as the government is concerned, they're dead -- and they're not at all happy about it.

Calling themselves "the Living Dead," two dozen people held a last rites Hindu ceremony outside the State Assembly to draw attention to their plight.


All say unscrupulous relatives fraudulently had them declared dead in order to steal their property. They've been struggling for years to get the government to rectify their official standing.

"My son produced a fake death certificate to revenue officials and grabbed my 12 acres of property. The government still refuses to recognize me as alive," said Rashida Bibi, 62, who was declared dead in 1993.
