Prakruti se Samvad – Ramchandra Guha (Hindi)

Description

Where did Indian environmentalism come from? In this Hindi edition of Speaking with Nature, historian Ramachandra Guha shows that concern for nature in India is rooted in centuries-old social, cultural and economic traditions, not only in modern ideas.

Through the lives of nine environmentalists from Indian history, he shows how ordinary people — especially in rural communities — took up the protection of nature as a fight for their lives and livelihoods, and how Indian environmentalism, unlike the Western model, has always linked nature with social justice and a fair share of resources.
