Oral Histories of the Narmada Struggle

A new website has been created, that documents oral history of one of India's most important post-independence movements, the struggle against big dams in the Narmada valley. This movement helped raise critiques of 'development' to a national and global level, inspired many more such movements, and galvanised (along with others) the search for radical alternatives.

As far as we know this is the first such attempt at a comprehensive oral history of a social movement in India, and particularly valuable because the testimonies include many people from local communities affected by the project and at the centre of the movement. Its creator, Nandini, once a core member of the Narmada Bachao Andolan, has put in years of labour and love into this, and the results are remarkable.
