Shiva Prasad Madhavi, Adivasi Aikya Vedika, Adilabad. says

Not so long ago we used to get this flower called Moti.

We used to make colours from these to celebrate Holi.

Now the Moti blooms, but at the wrong time, after Holi.

This is how the climate is changing.

 

“I am the Drum” starts with the sudden floods in   North Karnataka which is a semi-arid region, and    the understanding of the people in terms of its  causes and unpredictability of weather that they have observed. The effects of these extreme      events is exacerbated by modern monoculture and      quarrying, and some of the options open to people      in these regions is to adapt to these changes.
