Environmental Movements of India: Chipko, Narmada Bachao Andolan, Navdanya

1. The book can serve as a supplementary textbook at the undergraduate levels (both Bachelor's and Associate's) for courses in the area of Environmental Studies in Philosophy and in other academic disciplines such as Geography, History and Anthropology. The book can also be used as a supplementary text for courses included in Peace & Justice Studies, Conflict Resolution and Globalization Studies. 2. The book informs and educates a variety of readers (general and specialists) about the environmental movements of India, considering the fact that there are very few books available on the environmental movements of India. The focus of my book on the nonviolent and women's perspectives of the environmental movements of India represents a unique approach to environmental activism. 3. The book will address the current issues of sustainability, globalization, environmental justice and human rights through a discussion of the origin and development of the Chipko, Save the Narmada River and Navdanya movements in the context of the complexly constituted Indian society.
