Immensely important.

Largely considered one of India's first graphic novels, The River of Stories tells the tale of the Naramada Bachao Andolan with the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. A must read for people who are interested in the tribal movements and development. Beautifully illustrated and narrated.

"Development for whom, and at whose cost?"

Living in mega cities, we don't ask this question this question as often as we should. This book, originally written in 1994, is still painfully relevant. If you've been following the work that Sonam Wangchuk has been doing in Ladakh, you will get a small idea of what an answer to this question looks like.

This book is mandatory reading for every Indian!
