Overview

Dadri Forecast is a militant-research initiative rooted in Gautam Buddha Nagar, focused on land transformation, ecological collapse, caste and communal violence, and extractive development. The project is built as an archive and organizing space, not just a publication.

Data and Sources

  • Field-grounded documentation from community networks around Khandera and Dadri.
  • Archive texts, manifesto documents, and local histories assembled for counter-narrative work.
  • Collaborative materials produced through ongoing workshops, events, and pedagogical sessions.

Workflow

  • Build a narrative spine around locality-specific ecological and social rupture.
  • Publish modular archive sections for collaborators, support, events, and project material.
  • Keep the format open to community contribution rather than freezing it into a closed report.

Outputs

  • Public manifesto and archive sections for political education and dissemination.
  • Cross-media outputs such as zines, reports, and visual pedagogical material.
  • An evolving platform for linking artistic, activist, and research practice.
