Ambiguous ecologies in Jahazpur: Protected trees, degraded river

This lecture's focus is on two contrasting ecological situations in Jahazpur: its densely wooded hilltop shrines and its blighted riverscape. By comparing the discrepant ecological pasts and present of Jahazpur's hilltops and river, Grodzins-Gold hopes to show diverse and shifting configurations at the emotional and volatile intersection of religion, politics and urban environments.
