We are so happy to finally see the outcomes of this participatory study, led in Santali by @prasantahembram, and in Ho by @birua123, who are both content creators themselves. Santali and Ho versions of this article coming soon.

A 2022 study conducted in Ho and Santali, Indigenous languages from India, found that 70.4 percent of creators use their smartphones to create and upload content, though monetizing remains a major challenge. @subhapa

"The Volunteer Archivists" was made by @subhapa

The complete documentary can be viewed at https://t.co/uQ32lQTXJ7

It conveys beautifully the story behind Srujanika, and the challenges that lie ahead of them

[Rahul Sagar @rahulsagar]

Do you care about India's past? If so, please watch this haunting trailer

It is the story of Srujanika, a group of volunteers saving and digitizing Odisha's literary history

They have given years of their life. Can you spare a few minutes of your time?

We support @internetarchive that keeps afloat community media archives we co-create. Artists, activists and researchers with lesser resources would have even lesser access without controlled digital lending. Copyright is not for corporates. https://t.co/L1kPuXVjCc
