The work is based on fieldwork on two small urban centres namely Tehri of Uttaranchal and Barmer of Rajasthan under a research project Urban anthropology, initiated by the Anthropological Survey of India, during the period between 1998-2002. The study of Tehri town was undertaken just immediately before its submersion in to the Bhagirathi following the construction of huge dam implemented by Tehri Hydro-Electric Development Corporation, and release of water for the reservoir that was likely to effect this small town and its neighboring villages. On one hand, people on the brink of loosing home, struggling silently to continue their life and culture till that inevitable incident occurs and on the other struggle was on for arranging their future rehabilitation and sustenance.
