		Sanjay Kak’s WORDS ON WATER clearly states the problem tormenting India and its submerged river bank inhabitants.
		Kak successfully brings his message to his audience in “The Same Summer” sequences where the cities’ excess in refrigerators, televisions, microwaves and water parks contradict images of impoverished rural men pumping ground water from a dried river bank.
		Sanjay Kak uses several pictorial contrasts in order to illustrate how those who have been displaced have had their rights violated without any regard for justice and dismissed as disposables by a government who was supposed to protect its people.

		Kak, in the film, describes the multifarious uses to which bamboo is put, not in a ``state emporium kind of way'' but in the artifacts of every day life a mousetrap, a vase, an agricultural or kitchen implement.

		Kak’s new film joins the growing filmic documentation of the struggle of the people of the Narmada Valley against the big dams that threaten to submerge their lands, displace them from their homes and slowly but surely, cut them off from their traditions and their cultures.
		Fearing that the ‘mob’ may get unruly, the police turns a water cannon onto the demonstration, releasing water under pressure onto the very peoples who have come there to demand their right to control their own water.
		Kak’s rhetorical commentary is aggressive and minces no words, but it works powerfully to make explicit the connections between the movement of global capital, the collusion of national governments and the exploitation of indigenous and marginalised peoples.

		New Delhi, Oct 9 (PTI) Two defence witnesses in the Parliament attack case today told a city court that police translation of the alleged taped conversation between S A R Geelani, the suspended Delhi University lecturer and accused in the case, and his brother in Kashmir, omitted some important words.
		Sampat Prakash and Sanjay Kak, experts in Kashmiri language told designated POTA judge S N Dhingra that the words "syllabus" and "prospectus", appearing in the conversation which the duo had over the phone after the attack on December 13, were missing in the translation filed by police.
		On the expression "Yeh kya korut" used by Geelani's brother in the alleged telephonic talk, Kak said it just meant "yeh kya kiya" (what have you done) adding the meaning would differ depending on the context.

		And it is best that groups/individuals/institutions directly contact film-makers, and make their own packages, screening modules etc I would therefor agree with Rahul that while the aaj-ke-naam list could host any such attempt, our own energies could focus on the new/emerging films that we have been speaking about.

		Arundhati Roy, who is associated with the Narmada Bachao Andolan, is one of the few political activists like Kak who have aggressively championed the cause of the Adivasis who are doomed to drown at the stroke of a bureaucratic pen.
		The very first essay of this book, Ahimsa, is about a fast in protest by some of those who are threatened by the Maan Dam in Madhya Pradesh.
		It is with such passion and conviction that Arundhati Roy has, in the last couple of years, written and lectured extensively on the failure of democracy and the future of progressive movements, a pro-active stand that has established her as one of the significant dissident voices from South Asia.
