On 17 June 2013, a normally calm Mandakini came crashing down from
the hills in Uttarakhand and destroyed everything in its path:
houses, bridges, dams and the town of Kedarnath. Thousands of
people perished and lakhs lost their livelihood. Three years after
the disaster, stories from the valley-of pain and sorrow, the state
government's indifference and the corporate goof-ups, and the
courage and heroism shown by the locals in the face of an absolute
catastrophe-still remain largely unheard of. While the government
continues to remain in denial and chooses to ignore the
environmental issues in Uttarakhand, the ravaged Kedarnath valley
continues to haunt us-though the temple has been restored, given
its religious importance and centrality to the local economy. NDTV
journalist Hridayesh Joshi covered the floods in 2013, exposing the
government's apathy and inefficiency. He was the first journalist
to reach Kedarnath after the disaster and brought to light the
stories from the most-remote parts of the state: areas cut off from
the rest of the world. Woven into this haunting narrative is also
the remarkable history of the ordinary people's struggle to save
the state's ecology. Rage of the River is a riveting commentary on
the socio-environmental landscape of Uttarakhand and is filled with
vivid imagery of the calamity.
