AID is holding a panel discussion this Sunday, with Jnanpith award-winning author Amitav Ghosh and representatives of 3 grassroots groups in Sundarbans. Amitav Ghosh has had a long standing connection with the Sundarbans, evident in his novels The Hungry tide, Gun Island, and is a prominent literary voice of the climate change movement.
