About the book
India has long been a land alive with birdsong. But
something is changing.
Birds are slipping away – lost to vanishing habitats, pesticide use
and to the hard lines of power cables and dams that redraw the
land. Some absences, like that of the Great Indian Bustard and
White-bellied Heron, are stark. But others are quieter, easier
to miss. Birds once ‘common’, like drongos and rollers, no
longer gather as they did. And the dawn chorus – once a bright,
swelling thread stitching night to morning – softens, frays and
fades.
Where have these birds gone? And what does their silence mean
for us?
This book answers these questions through intimate, searching
accounts of species we are fast losing – tracing not just their
disappearance, but the story of a land on the brink of its own
silent spring.
