Indrawati River

Arfun Ahmed (Bangladesh)

It was very easy for me to get their access, but also extremely difficult to build a narrative. I was thinking how could I tell a story with images of a river Indrawati, a northeastern river of Nepal & an ethnic group of fishermen ‘Majhi’. There are over 27-crusher industries on the bank of Indrawati, which export river-based items such as crushed stones and sand with heavy mining equipment. For this, the inhabitancy of fishes & other types of marine lives are at the edge vanishing. ‘Majhis’, people who once lived on catching & selling fishes, are changing their century old traditional occupation & become daily labour in the crusher Industries.

Jatra

Soumya Sankar Bose (India)

Jatra, a famous folk theatre form of United Bengal, which has been breathing for last 400 years. There was a time when people used to make out the artists of Jatra by the name of their onstage dynamic characters like Lord Krishna, Emperor Akbar, Siraj-ud-Dullah and Sahjahan etc. But now time has been transposed a lot, Jatra artists( In 2001,over 300 companies employed over 20,000 people) are confronting a horrifying financial problem because people are no more fascinated by the charisma of Jatra due to the prevalence of television and computer.
