| Summary, etc. |
"Floodwaters, sewage and the remains of humankind's greed swallowed a city whole in December 2015.<br/>Waters from the city's many lakes, canals and rivers, which humans had usurped and eaten into with tar roads and concrete jungles, retraced their old routes and ate anything that came in their way. Like they did in Mumbai in 2005, Surat in 2006, Srinagar in 2014, Kerala in 2018 and Bengaluru in 2022. As they might in Hyderabad someday, or in Kolkata.<br/>To make sense of the horror of those days-the lost lives, homes and livelihoods --Krupa Ge spent over three years filing RTIS, reading government documents and archival material, and interviewing stakeholders, journalists and the people of Chennai. What she arrives at is the shocking truth of how masterly inactivity drowned the city, and how it could happen again. And again."-- Back cover |
