Which of the following statements best captures the essence of "Landscapes of Loss: The Story of an Indian Drought" by Kavitha Iyer?
A study on drought's human and ecological impacts in India.
Journalist Kavitha Iyer's Landscapes of Loss: The Story of an Indian Drought (HarperCollins, 2021; winner of the Tata Literature Live First Book Award – Non-Fiction) is a non-fiction work documenting the cyclical drought in Maharashtra's Marathwada region.
Through accounts of marginal farmers, Dalits, landless labourers, farm widows, and children, the book examines the human and ecological consequences of drought — including farmer suicides, distress migration, water-tanker economies, and policy failures.
It is reportage and analysis, not fiction, not a history of monsoon patterns, and not a colonial-era policy study.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
