A World Without A Roof: Stories of Pastoralism from India - Sarita Sundar Illustrations by Somesh Kumar

"A World Without A Roof" transports us into the hidden world of Indian pastoralists, sharing with us their challenges and opportunities. It is a world that is far removed from the lives of urban Indians, a life that is both in tune and in struggle with nature, an existence in which animals and their welfare outweigh human comforts, and that is embedded in complex social structures and cultural practices.

Pastoralism is ancient in India, but in a sense it is also ultra-modern. For it represents an alternative to the energy intensive and careless consumption patterns that are causing unpredictable climate change, unprecedented biodiversity loss, as well as pollution of soils, air, and water. Pastoralists "live lightly" on the land and in balance with natural resources. They are givers, not takers, providing the food, fibre and fertiliser that sustain India's urban populations, without any policy support what so ever.

The four stories in this book provides glimpse into the life of pastoralists and illustrate both the pressure they experience as well as the potential that is inherent in their way of life.

The magazine continues to be printed at the National Association for the Blind and is circulated across India, reaching the nooks and corners of the nation.

The mission of White Print has always been to embrace the values of inclusion and diversity. Considering it crucial to inculcate these values at a young age, the company forayed into publishing children's literature to promote inclusion and diversity in the minds of children.
