The urban poor in Delhi city
Forced to 'embed' in an entanglement of land, law and jurisdictions!
2014: the cm sanctions, says, live here!
2025: court says, you can't!

Our tree of life

Members of SGU- domestic workers union in Delhi, against evictions- entangled in land legal quagmire combined with xenophobic attacks as 'illegal' migrants from Bangladesh!

For housing rights
Against sludge

Making sense of borders: stumbling onto the beautiful topogrophies of Nepal's northwestern border with India, at Bhimdutta-Banbassa, but as usual one encounters mobile kinships, goods, currency and migrant workers.
