Climate Change
The city of dreams, Mumbai, is the most densely populated city in the country. The pressure on resources is immense – with never enough for everybody. Once upon a time, there used to be four beautiful rivers around the city – namely, Dahisar, Poisar, Oshiwara and Mithi. Today, they are testament to the high levels of pollution caused by urbanization. Resembling drains, these rivers are clogged with waste from the city. On the banks of the Dahisar river inside the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, are Adivasi communities fighting to hold on to their lives which are heavily dependent on natural resources in and around the forests – the river being one of the most important resources. Mumbai based photographer Aslam Saiyad speaks to us about his work – Mumbai River Photo Project, that tells the stories of these rivers, through the lives of the Adivasi communities and their children.
