The study Evaluation of Ecosystem Services and Forest Governance by LEAD India which was supported by the Heinrich Böll Foundation India deals with the important  ecosystem services that flow from the forests of  Uttarakhand Himalaya. It aims at sensitizing and raising awareness among the stakeholders on the value of such life supporting systems.

 

Originating from the association with the Heinrich Böll Foundation's Asia-Europe Dialogue project Kavaljit Singh’s Questioning Globalisation is a critical analysis of the motivations and ulterior goals which accept certain global developments in the name of an essential reactionary agenda responding to the forces of globalisation.With the help of case studies, statistical data and cogent analysis, the book debunks several myths associated with the globalization process. Kavaljit is Founder-Director of the Delhi-based Public Interest Research Centre.

 

The Heinrich Böll Foundation India supported Ebong Alap, a Kolkata-based non-profit society which explores innovative ways of disseminating information in Bengali for generating action-oriented public opinion. A series of three books with a focus on inter-religious dialogue and mutual inter-religious misperceptions in India was produced. All three books in the series are available in English and Bengali:

 

I. Muslim-Hindu Dialogue: Issues-Queries-Arguments (2005) put together by Subhendu Dasgupta is a compilation of a series of chat sessions between Hindus and Muslims dedicated to explore, inform, argue, exchange ideas and converse. The absence of this conversation has lead to much mutual animosity and conflict. Such dialogues help to build bridges and develop respect of the religious ‘other”.

 

II. The Vedas, Hinduism, Hindutva (2005) by Kumkum Roy, Kunal Chakrabarti and Tanika Sarkar with a foreword by Romila Thapar critically examines the strategic and politically instrumentalised argument that a whole range of religious traditions – especially Hinduism – are actually derived from the Vedic tradition to counter the claim to a (Vedic) monopoly on the religious beliefs and practices in India.

 

III. Through a simple question-response format Christian Conversions (2004) by Sumit Sarkar, Tanika Sarkar and Pradip Dutta addresses the historical reality behind the currently popular perception of aggressive Christian proselytisation going on in the country. Like all other publications in the series a thorough visualisation makes the well-researched text come alive and easily accessible.

 

The Jo'burg Memo is Heinrich Böll Foundation's contribution to the debate on both the desired outcomes of the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development and the critical path for the sustainable development agenda in the next decade. Sixteen authors, eminent activists, politicians, intellectuals, and managers from across the world joined forces to produce this Memorandum for the World Summit. It has been translated into several languages and is available in Hindi as well.
