Abstract

Rishi Aggarwal’s book Saving Aarey – The Undoing of an Environmental Campaign is a personal narrative documenting a grassroots movement to protect the Aarey forest in Mumbai. The review highlights the book’s emotional tone and its critique of the political and economic forces undermining environmental advocacy. Venkatesh explores the tension between urban infrastructure development and ecological preservation, advocating for a holistic approach to environmental impact assessment. He calls on readers to reflect on their own responsibilities and to engage genuinely in environmental causes beyond mere rhetoric.
