Which and whose memory is curated, preserved, propagated and asserted is politics by itself.

Oral history is as much an act of resistance as a means to archive people’s history.

This website shares people’s histories of the mass resistance against the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP), a mega dam based project on the River Narmada in Western India. The SSP is to displace 250000 tribal / adivasi people and other natural resources based communities and severely impact equal numbers due to the project infrastructure.
