Event Description : Aakar Books presents "When Godavari Comes: People’s History of a River (Journeys in the Zone of the Dispossessed)" a talk by Dr. R. Uma Maheshwari on her recently published book.
The idea of a river is crucial to understanding the politics of control and dominance, and hegemony of an ecological thought system. It is equally essential to bring to the forefront people's perceptions of river and its flows. I work with examples of these ideas from the people of Godavari (those who live by and along the river or whom the river touches in direct and indirect ways) as well as from examples of colonial perception that has
managed to flow down to the politics of Andhra Pradesh today in no small ways.
Dr. R. Uma Maheshwari prefers to call herself an independent journalist (with a PhD in History from JNU), but is currently teaching History at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati (teaching History).
