Event Details : Book launch of Churning the Earth: The Making of Global India by Aseem Shrivastava and Ashish Kothari by (Penguin Books India) Follwed by a panel discussion between Ashis Nandy, Amita Baviskar & Ramaswamy Iyer.
The world stands so dazzled by India’s meteoric economic rise that we hesitate to acknowledge its consequences to the people and the environment. In Churning the Earth, Aseem Shrivastava and Ashish Kothari engage in a timely enquiry of this impressive growth story. They present incontrovertible evidence on how the nature of this recent growth has been predatory and question its political and ecological sustainability. Unfettered development has damaged the ecological basis that makes life possible for hundreds of millions resulting in conflicts over water, land and natural resources and increasing the chasm between the rich and the poor, threatening the future of India as a civilization.
