BOOKS
Swept off the Map: Surviving Eviction and Resettlement in Delhi
By Kalyani Menon-Sen and Gautam Bhan
Eviction being used as a purification ritual by an administration which wants to present a squeaky clean image of the Capital is the sum and substance of Swept off the Map: Surviving Eviction and Resettlement in Delhi. This book is speaking for the voiceless multitudes who lived in the Yamuna Pushta slums and similar dwellers elsewhere. Product of a two-year-long research on the price that the hapless residents of Yamuna Pushta had to pay to turn Delhi into a “world class city”, there can be no doubting their plight and this book details their crisis. Questioning the rehabilitation policy, it shows how the resettlement sites are no more than dumping grounds with practically no civic amenities.
New Publications around Climate Change, Sustainable Development and more also available...

Voices from the Forest-India
by Rita Banerjee (32 min, English, 2007)
All across India, Non-timber Forest Produce (NTFP) spell a critical source of income for indigenous peoples and forest dwelling communities. Not only do the NTFPs pay a crucial role in the livelihood of these people, NTFPs are woven into the social and cultural fabric of these communities living in India.
The Unreal Reality
by Syed Amjad Ali (16min, English, 2008)
The film is an engaging and informative documentary that is specific to a mental illness called Schizophrenia. It captures and demonstrates the difficulties about the illness, and is meant to create awareness about it in the society and help people understand the devastating nature of the illness.
The World according to Monsanto

Documents the devastating impact of Monsanto's malpractices around the world. Among others, it includes the real-life stories of cotton farmers in India that ended up in hopeless debts after using Monsanto genetically engineered (so called Bt) cotton, and of a family in Paraguay, South America whose dreams have turned to nightmares after their farm became surrounded by fields planted with Monsanto’s GE soya.
