Aftermath

I had visited Terai to meet the survivors of the Terai Floods of 2017. The following are the stories from the people affected by the floods.


This time my journey into Nepal has taken me to the southern plains of the country where recently the monsoon floods have wrecked havoc. Even though this is a natural disaster due to excessive rain, the sufferings of the people who reside in these communities are at many times fuelled by the prevalent social ills of inequality and injustice in our societies. We can always google the statistics of the damages but not stories, so I will be spending my time here walking along the banks of these rivers whose waters have changed not only their course but also the future of many individuals, families and communities. I hope, in doing so, I can listen to the hurt and hopes of these survivors and share their stories with you all.
