Documentary on crisis Himalayan rivers face when they come to the plain areas

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat* 

After nearly two years of tracking various places in the Yamuna and other rivers, I am sharing here my documentary on Yamuna river and its journey. The video is edited by me though I am not a professional editor but we all have our issues and problems.
Rather than keeping them on hold, I decided to put it on in the greater interest to spread awareness about the crisis that the Himalayan rivers face when they come to the plain areas. The commentary and narrative are actually put by me live during the action.
The rivers in the mountains are full of energy and life therefore many time making things difficult particularly when we want to speak but I have kept some of these things to make you feel about the area and the location I am speaking. I hope at certain point of time, I shall be able to put an English narration. I am working on a book but felt that visuals too are important hence sharing this.

The anti-national tag: Silencing India’s water protests or admitting the truth?

By Dr. Mansee Bal Bhargava   A few days ago, several women from Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, staged a protest at the Municipal Corporation office, raising concerns about the lack of water availability in their neighbourhood. These women were labelled "anti-national." This characterisation follows remarks by Nitin Gadkari , Minister of Road Transport & Highways, who recently described those who speak about India's water crisis as "anti-national." While Gadkari made this statement in reference to his ethanol project, the term has increasingly become governmental language for citizens who raise questions and objections.
