Following the judgement on the Sardar Sarovar dame, the author tries to understand the issues dividing opinion on it. He reveals that the way such dams have been conceived should disturb us all, as they seem to be built, more for the sake of politics than for solving the problems of water, floods and power.
The Narmada Dammed: An Inquiry Into The Politics Of Development Reviews
-
The book is a detailed analysis of the concepts of a dam for the national development and its effect on the human environment. In the developing countries dams are considered as a sign of development because of the water and electricity benefits but on the other hand, it also brings a lot of environmental and human loss which is never thought of by the government.
The book has answered every point of view of the dam from the perspective of government to the people displaced and also to the people who were about to get benefit from the dams in the arid areas of Gujarat.
It is must read for those who want an unbiased analysis of the whole Narmada dam issue.
