 | | In this book, there are men in business suits brushing up against drowsy cows in the midst of the busy streets of Calcutta, bullock carts and modern trains, ancient temples and practices, factories belching pollution and people hand picking produce in fields so vast that they suggest a lifetime of relentless labor. |
 | | Not only is this book based on a true story of the 1970's where the women and girls of the village hugged the trees around their village to prevented loggers from cutting them down, but it can also be a springboard for discussions about the environment and the power of ordinary citizens. |
