Synopsis:
This film captures the diverse social and cultural practices of the hardy Marwaris, which enabled large populations to survive in the harsh desert environment. The villages of Thar have amazing systems of water harvesting such as the kund or kundis, tankas, kuis, bawdis, etc. Similarly, the desert farmer has devised an ingenious system to grow and maintain three excellent sources of fodder: sewan, jharberi and khejari. Today, it is the villages that have not yet been "modernized” which have water and fodder during periods of drought. The “developed” villages wait for water tankers and fodder trucks from Punjab.
