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- Nandini Oza

This website shares people’s histories of the mass resistance against the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP), a mega-dam  on the River Narmada , based in Western India. The SSP will displace 2,50,000 people  belonging to adivasi (tribal) and other communities dependent on their local natural resources and severely impact an equal number of people due to project infrastructure.
