1. Landscapes Of Loss
The Story of an Indian Drought
An intimate reportage-driven account of the agrarian crisis in drought-prone Marathwada, tracing how chronic water scarcity, crop failures, debt, and skewed irrigation and sugarcane politics push farming families to the brink. Through the voices of widows, migrant laborers, and smallholders, it reveals the intersecting burdens of caste and gender, the trauma of farmer suicides, and the survival strategies that follow. Blending climate insight with policy critique, it exposes systemic neglect while highlighting resilience, solidarity, and the fragile hope that sustains rural life.
