India’s Worst Himalayan Disaster | Kedarnath 2013 True Story | Dhruv Rathee
In June 2013, Kedarnath witnessed one of India’s most devastating Himalayan disasters. But what actually happened during those terrifying hours? This video reconstructs the two waves of destruction, the Chorabari Lake breach, the rescue operation, and the stories of people caught in the catastrophe. We also examine the warnings, rapid construction, river encroachment, and hydropower development to ask a difficult question: was Kedarnath purely a natural disaster, or was human activity also responsible?
