This country and its society runs on the labour of very poor people ... not on yours or mine. It can do without yours and mine. - Palagummi Sainath, Founder Editor PARI, introduces the Peoples Archive of Rural India. The PARI website is both a living journal and an archive aimed at recording the everyday lives of everyday people; it will host and combine video, still photo, audio and text articles. The website is not-for-profit, free to view and all the contributors -journalists, writers, film-makers, editors, translators, techies, lawyers and accountants - are volunteers. It will be licensed under Creative Commons (version 4.0), which means the contents can be shared by others, as long as it is for non-commercial use. The website hopes to grow by public participation. Anybody can send us pictures, text articles, photo stories, films - as long as it fits our mandate - the everyday life of everyday people. Content on the site will be curated to ensure the maintenance of high standards. PARI hopes to function on crowd-funding. It will not be dependent on direct corporate or government funding.
