This is Garo Hills in Meghalaya where floods have taken lives and livelihoods. Does India or it's media care about the Northeast and its annual sorrow? No, all obsessed with Delhi's politics, shrill, hate politics and other trivia

Farmers of Garo Hills could not sell their produce and left them on the streets for cows to gorge on. 50 years of statehood but no fruit processing unit, no cold storage. Heart-wrenching. Tribal political elite live in luxury and don't care for farmers.Sigh..

We awarded a seed grant to Radhika Gupta (LIAS @LeidenHum) & Erik de Maaker (CADS @LeidenSocial) for research on ‘Heritage and Climate Governance’. The project will initiate research on how heritage has been/can be mobilized to address climate change governance in Himalayan Asia!
