Author: Sen, Orijit
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Sardar Sarovar Dam project in Western India became the focal point of a massive grassroots social movement. People from all over the country converged to voice their opposition to environmental destruction and the forced relocation of Indigenous Adivasi communities. Orijit Sen's account of the Narmada Dam—told in the form of a graphic novel—is drawn from his personal experiences. Weaving together the history of the resistance movement with local accounts and tribal folklore, River of Stories is an inspiring document of environmental activism, as well as an important milestone of Indian comics history. Also included is a foreword by Arundhati Roy, Booker Prize–winning author of The God of Small Things.
Orijit Sen (born 1963) is a graphic artist, muralist, cartoonist and designer based in Goa, India.
