Yami or Yamuna, sister of Yama, the God of death, has been dying for long excruciatingly. The river takes care of 70% of Delhi's water demands and keeps alive around 57 million people who depend on her for various reasons. Not to mention the millions whose souls it frees from the torments of death on its banks. In return the city dumps almost 58% of its waste into the highly venerated river. | Yami or Yamuna, sister of Yama, the God of death, has been dying for long excruciatingly.

The agony of Yama's sister
By Rocky Thongam
River Yamuna is fed up with human apathy. In these 'media -savvy times' the tormented river teams up with her counterpart Elbe in Germany to lodge her protest with the citizens of the Capital.
Yami or Yamuna, sister of Yama, the God of death, has been dying for long excruciatingly. The river takes care of 70% of Delhi's water demands and keeps alive around 57 million people who depend on her for various reasons. Not to mention the millions whose souls it frees from the torments of death on its banks. In return the city dumps almost 58% of its waste into the highly venerated river.

A cultural extravaganza on the banks of Yamuna
The public art and outreach project with the Yamuna as its muse is being organised in collaboration with Hamburg city, the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan in the Capital, and the Delhi Government and is part of the “Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities” project.
The exhibition is being co-curated by artists Ravi Agarwal and Till Krause on the banks of the Yamuna in the Capital and hopes to give viewers a true “river experience”, through an extensive education programme by inviting schools, youth and the people of Delhi to the river and to encourage artistic exchange between top Indian and German artists.

Whatever happened to the recommendation made by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru that one per cent of the construction cost of every building should be reserved for art?
