PRIYANKA BORPUJARI
"The Human Cost of India's Race for Development"

While India is perceived as an emerging market, the stories of the
plundering of natural resources and the systematic annihilation of the
indigenous peoples go unheard. In this race to make India a superpower, and
a growing media industry that champions this idea, social inequality has
reached its zenith, and easily gets pushed aside. Why does the media shy
away from reporting about the majority of its populace, even while they
silently die from landmines and malaria alike?

Priyanka Borpujari is an independent journalist based in Mumbai, India. Her
work documenting human rights abuses takes her to different corners of the
country. While she has been writing for various publications in India, she
has also been reporting through her blog posts about India's mad race for
development and the adverse effects it has had on the indigenous populace.
