Tarun Bhartiya's Book Captures Resistance in Meghalaya

Tarun Bhartiya was a photographer who took pictures and wrote about people in Meghalaya, India, who were fighting against mining and dams.

One important person he wrote about was Spillity Lyngdoh Langrin, who said no to a big company that wanted to mine uranium on her land.

Tarun's book, 'Em, No, Nahi,' shows pictures of these protests and the beautiful land that people are trying to protect.

He wanted to show that land is not just for making money, but for living and being free.

The book also talks about how the government and companies try to convince people to give up their land for development, but many people say no.

Tarun's friends finished the book after he passed away, and it is a way to remember his work and keep the conversation about protecting the land going.
