1947PartitionArchive | Before & After 1947: Environment, State and Society with Mahesh Rangarajan @1947PartitionArchive | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
It’s something we don’t think of often, yet ‘it’ plays a critical role in impacting human history. In turn humans, with our soaring population numbers and technology, now have the means to impact ‘it': Our natural environment. In today’s discussion we will explore a natural history of South Asia’s environment over the last century, and the impacts and changes brought about during 1947.
Join us in a live discussion with Prof. Mahesh Rangarajan Welcome to Season 2, Episode 4 of Sunday Stories Live hosted by award winning musician, Sonam Kalra.
