The story of ‘Pangira’ is all about how rapidly Indian villages have changed, over a period of time. Old rural hospitality and contented, peaceful village life – is now a History! Right from natural resources to local politics – ‘Indian village’ has changed and IS still changing from every aspect. Miss-use …of drinking and farming water, un-imaginable destruction of natural resources by cutting down trees in and around villages is normal. Development is happening, but with ‘Jilha Parishads’ and ‘Panchayat Samitees’, politics and courruption has become integral part of the system. At the end, a farmer, a common man, still does not get the price he deserves for his hard work.
