Highlights
Title “Till the Rivers All Run Dry”: A Human Ecological Analysis of the Narmada Bachao Andolan
The Government of India claims that the multi-purpose Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) would irrigate more than 1.8 million hectares and solve drinking water problems in drought-prone areas like Kutch and Saurashtra in Gujarat
Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) activists have even estimated that a population of at least 1 million would be dislocated if the SSP were to be completed
Summary
Title “Till the Rivers All Run Dry”: A Human Ecological Analysis of the Narmada Bachao Andolan. The Supreme Court's clearance of the SSP, has not been able to resolve critical issues involved, like cost-benefit analyses of development and displacement (especially in a postcolonial democracy like India's) (Ray, 1989, 127-149; Ray, 1996, 101-112; Ray, 1991, 97-98), rehabilitation and social justice, grassroots (dis)empowerment, and environmental and human ecological problems (Iyer, 1991, 97-98).
