Hello!
Every year on 14th and 15th of January the Sky in Gujarat gets filled by kites. People start flying kites from the end of December till end of January. The Strings used for flying kites are called “Manja” which is a Glass coated Razor sharp string that can even cut our neck. These strings end up in injuring almost 2000 birds including some critically endangered species like White Rumped Vultures. Every year with help of Jivdaya Charitable Trust we organize a rescue operation to fight against this massive killing of our feathered friends. I am sharing a few photographs of the event of 2012. Critiques comments and valuable suggestions are welcome.

About Intercultural Resources
Intercultural Resources is a forum for research and political intervention on issues related to the impacts and alternatives to destructive development. Our effort draws upon the social, cultural, material and intellectual resources that have been generated in the course of dialogues between people of different cultures on questions of social justice, development and self-rule.
We are of the view that dialogue can sustain plurality and open possibilities for recovery of the ground lost on account of inter-cultural alienation, which is manifest in a variety of forms of violence that we encounter everyday at different levels of social life.
Intercultural Resources is based in Delhi, India.
