The future of the rural world? Indian villages, 1950-2015
The villages of India have played surprisingly important roles in some of the big ideas of history. Karl Marx, for example, saw the villages of India as reflecting a particular stage of human progress. In contrast, Mahatma Gandhi saw the village as the strongest building block for the future development of the country.
In this spirit, this exhibition showcases examples from the long-term study of three Indian villages, as a way to think broadly about the possible futures of the rural world
