Behind the Indian Boom / The other side of the Miracle

Published: March 25, 2019

On Wednesday, March 27, 2019 in Turin Behind the Indian Boom starts, the Italian re-edition of the photo exhibition that the anthropologist Alpa Shah (LSE) and film-maker Simon Chambers created in London as a return collective of a three-year research project conducted with Jens Lerche (SOAS), on the theme "Inequality and poverty in India's economic boom".

The project is edited by journalist Daniela Bezzi, who coordinated the work with London.

The exhibition is spread in three different locations:
- Campus Luigi Einaudi (27 March - 2 April)
- International Training Center of the ILO (27 March - 17 May)
- Regione Piemonte Area (28 May - 15 June)

the exhibition will have a double inauguration on 27/3 both in the morning, with the planned conference at the Luigi Einaudi Campus of professors Jens Lerche and Alpa Shah, who led this research project, in comparison with the rector Gianmaria Ajani; and then again at 6 pm, inside the ITCILO Campus

The re-edition of the Exhibition for the city of Turin is part of the India Invisible Project, which aims to shed light on the hidden folds of the Indian economic boom, highlighting the realities of exploitation and discrimination.
This project is the work of a research group of the University of Turin consisting of Tommaso Bobbio, Chiara Correndo, Alessandra Consolaro and Domenico Francavilla, which operates within the ISA (Institute of Studies on Asia) and the Departments of Jurisprudence, Humanistic Studies and Cultures Politics and Society of the University of Turin.
Invisible India takes place in collaboration with the Centro Studi Sereno Regis, Citizenships, ITCILO and the non-profit association Jarom.

Behind the Indian Boom is part of the Biennale Democrazia 2019, a cultural event promoted by the City of Turin and created by the Turin Foundation for Culture. The aim of the initiative is to spread a culture of democracy that can be translated into democratic practice.
Now in its sixth edition, Biennale Democrazia will take place in Turin from Wednesday 27th to Sunday 31st March 2019 and, with the title VISIBLE INVISIBLE, will host a reflection on news and distortions produced by a world of "high visibility".

Distance Support Team

By I V | voluntary

Dear supporters,

from the missions that Yatra supports in Ranchi (India) the best wishes for Christmas and Happy 2018 come to you; by students, teachers, doctors and operators and religious who in the schools of the Doctrinal Fathers and the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul continue to give us signs of joy and hope, even in daily adversities.

With good wishes, we want to bring you the spirit of celebration and joy that our students have recently experienced on the occasion of the celebrations for the Foundation of the Mission and the Feast of masters and teachers.

Prayers, representations in typical local costumes and team games animated the mission with the large participation of the parents and the inhabitants of the neighborhood.

Remote support 2018-12

Despite the social and economic difficulties the community is always very united and supportive, in these moments it also transmits to us a strength and a determination that bodes well for future developments.

Hope that we want to convey to you as we approach Christmas, drawing inspiration from another episode that we want to bring back to you from the words of the new principal of Little School Dingon Kujur:

"This year after a visit to the houses in the neighborhood, 24 other children were admitted to the Little School by Adlin and Luisa, both of whom have blind parents, forced to ask for alms on the street. Now Adlin and Luisa, like all their comrades, attend school, have uniforms, books, notebooks, medical care and meals offered by the mission "and, we may add, they can hope for a better future in a corner of the world in rapid economic development, but that still knows pockets of extreme poverty.

To give hope to our Indian friends, we also invite you to spread knowledge of Yatra's projects among family members, colleagues and friends and to consult news from Ranchi via the Internet, on the association's website (www.yatraweb.it); you will be able to follow more easily the developments of all the activities that we could not promote without your contribution to reduce the discomfort and suffering of our Indian brothers.

For the Yatra Association
