—————————————————————————————-‘pad.ma’, is an acronym for Public Access Digital Media Archive, whose name derives its origin from the Sanskrit term for a thousand petalled lotus, and also, they say, short for an adage, ‘paani saare dhaga ma’.
What this is for dummies is a non-commercial archival website where you can download, watch, learn about, use and add to documentary video footage from various sources, for free!
pad.ma is being developed by Majlis, the Alternative Law Forum, Point of View and Chitrakarkhana.
To know more, join us at a public discussion about the discourses that shape it.
