Textile Museum Opening, Mumbai India Essay

I intend to cover the practices in an objective manner, neither idealizing nor criticizing them. Many of India's religious practices are thousands of years old, offering ample opportunity for journalistic inquiry beyond what we provide in a pithy piece about the fire-walking children. We intend to interview the parents of the students, the teachers, and also community religious leaders or scholars. 3. "Drowning in a Sea of Garbage" -- an in-depth piece about garbage in India

A New York Times piece by Akash Kapur entitled "Drowning in a Sea of Garbage" details the hazards of a specific land fill near Pondicherry. Pondicherry is close to Chennai and therefore should be simple to travel there during the week our crew spends in India. Because we do not have time or resources for a full investigative report, I simply want to offer our readers a snapshot of what is going on both at the Pondicherry landfill and also in other landfills throughout the country. I would like to interview government officials and any professional specializing in sanitation issues in India. The country is overpopulated and known...

However, this issue of toxic fumes emitted from the overly filled garbage dump is a serious one. As Kapur points out, there are "strong differences of opinion in the United States" over how to deal with long-term solutions to large-scale waste issues. Covering the story in India will allow our newspaper to conduct research on what India might be doing to alleviate their problems and possibly uncover reason for a future series on this topic.
