@maheshfilmwaala @icssr Thank you for your interest! That paper isn’t out yet, but I’ll surely share it once it is. In the meantime, I can share some of my other related work if you're interested! You can check out my chapter "Farming the Wind" here: https://t.co/YDVX8ZCt3n

Thrilled to have presented our paper, "Blurred Boundaries: Socio-cultural impacts of 'clean' energy on village commons", with my supervisor Dr. Prasenjeet Tribhuvan at the 26th ASAA Conference at Deakin University, Australia!
Grateful to @ICSSR for the travel grant support.

Early in my research on clean energy & village commons, I explored how wind farms affect Rajasthan’s sacred Orans for @EdgeEffectsMag.

I feel thrilled to see our chapter and extremely grateful to have worked with you on the Orans of Jaisalmer in this visionary volume! Excited for the conversations this intervention sparks!

Delighted to have our chapter "Farming the Wind " in this prescient volume. Here, my co-author (@NishaPaliwal17 ) and I examine the Aeolian Politics of dominant wind-farming technologies in "Orans": the indigenous desertscapes of Rajasthan (link to chapter in comments)

"Green capitalism" doesn't mean capitalism is internalizing its environmental externalities and becoming "sustainable." It means economic sectors and investment linked to renewable energy, adaptation, or mitigation are new sites of accumulation, class conflict, and geopolitics.

[Land Conflict Watch @LandConflicts]

The energy sector in India is the biggest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reduce the economy’s carbon intensity, India has set an ambitious target of producing 500 GW energy from renewable sources by 2030.

There is a difference between word Desert in English and Desert in Ecology. I urge @anandmahindra to plz understand the plight of poor #GIB aka Great Indian Bustard. Just around 100-130 left in whole world & are in dire need of habitat protection for survival. @and_ecology

[The Paperclip @Paperclip_In]

Over 700 years ago, a nomadic tribe from Rajasthan realized that there was no fixed temple they could visit with their constant roving. They, thus, created temples that could travel with them which subsequently introduced one of the richest artforms of the country. A thread. 1/10

The Desert is a land where creatures fight for survival. The extreme mimicry shown by the Desert Mantis is amazing as is its behaviour.

Cool canopy..! No less than any Air Conditioner in hot and sandy deserts of Rajasthan.

The villagers hold the drooping crowns of Salvadora trees with planks and spend good under them to beat the heat.

Every single tree matters. Every blade of grass, every leaf counts.
