One such village, Nilgi, has so far avoided the illegal iron-ore mining and floods that have ravaged the district for decades, believing itself to be indestructible and incorruptible despite warnings of impending doom. With whole mountains disappearing from the mining around Nilgi over time, the threat of a flood submerging the entire village is imminent. One night, Reshma, a young orphan girl, appears alone in the village. The villagers take her to Raj Nayakthe patriarch of Nilgis leading family who has been spearheading anti-dam movements. For years hes been lobbying the corrupt government for fair compensation to the people who will lose their livelihoods and property to the mines and the flood. But Reshmas presence, and the mystery of her origins, sets off a chain of events threatening the protests, the family, and Nilgi itself. Soon, secrets and corruption flood the village along with the waters. 650 0 $a Villages $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dams $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Floods $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poverty $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Political corruption $v Fiction. 651 0 $a India $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Ecofiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033026.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220429010158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A202568CC78111EC88DDE91452ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
