“…Based upon the eco-friendly features, it seems planners of Haryana Urban Development Agency (HUDA) have based their concept on the relations developed by earlier city-planners in India and abroad in their bid to focus attention on giving significance to eco-friendly ingredients and components in their overall urban-architectural planning in India. (Wood, 1958;Mukerjee and Singh, 1962, Gore, 1971, Das, 1981, Nath, 1988, Priya, 1993, Krishna Manon, 1997, Shaw, 1998, Davy, 1999and Sharma et al, 2000 On the other hand, everything is not good with the Kurukshetra environs as is evident from Table-2. As, anywhere in the oriental world, civic sense is rubbishy poor in Kurukshetra.…”

: Kurukshetra, a state of India is a historical place having global significance linked with its multifaceted aspects concerning education, science education, engineering colleges, museums and above all some sites and spots which are witnesses to the events of world famous war namely, "Mahabharata". The studies reveal that urbanization processes have turned rural Kurukshetra into a modern semi-urban area with distinct urban features by creating "Urban Estates". This is an activity which has two faces: Eco-friendly face and adverse ecological face. The generation of an attraction, ultra modern city equipped with vast green belts; impressive avenues having intense plantations of trees, bushes and profusely dotted with Civil Parks is a phenomenal change. One of the most impressive eco-friendly façade of the new environs is the ambience presence of orchards and plant nurseries and there is practice of "Kitchens-Waste" disposal which is disposed off at a safe place to convert it into organic manure. The best of sanitary conditions are in place which is one more environment friendly aspects. A very well laid out "Mini-Secretariat" encompassing virtually each and every office of the District Administration is intensely covered by very thick cover of trees and a new experiment, pioneered first by Haryana Govt.However, the negative features are many to negate the over all positive features. Foremost is related with discarding the traditional and endemic trees like Shisham Dalbergia sissoo, Neem Azadirachta indica, Beri Morus alba, Peepal Ficus religiosa, Banyan Ficus benghalensis and Mango Mangifera indica trees for tree plantations in favour exotic varieties.

“…Although caught in the Nehru (modernity) versus Gandhi (self-sufficient village communities) (Roy, 1999) imaginative geography, the city/urban was and is never delinked from the country. However, nationalist urban visions in social science research tend to analytically separate researchable topics that separate life spaces into urban planning versus rural planning, investigation of the farm versus the firm (Wood, 1958). My point here is to disrupt these analytical containers and explicate emphatically that the city or urban permeates the rural or extra-urban and that it is in understanding the relationality of these life spaces that we can conceive the nation and social change as a holistic process.…”

Quintessence of Urban India: Musings about Social Change from the Perspectives of the Slum Dweller and the Displaced

Urbanisation is a ‘constant’ process and cities will account for all future world population growth. What does it mean for people who find these spatio-temporal existences entrapping and limiting? This article reflects upon the urban condition of India from the imaginative geographic perspectives (to use Edward Said’s concept) of working people, labour, informal proletariat, the slum-dweller. In order to do so, this article explores the ‘urban’ or the ‘city’ as a concept and therefore, its connection with its ‘other’. Since the quintessence of life is the flowing hermaphroditic existence of the slum-dweller and the displaced flowing through space, social change would mean comprehensive re-haul of geographic imaginations that understand how city and country are connected and how they are impacted by neoliberal policy shift. This article concludes that oppression of the urban poor is universal in most urban conditions, hence reversing this universality constitutes the quintessence of social change.
