Dear people who are reading this, You may think that i am in no position to talk about this issue as i am only 14 years old but i seem to have a better understanding of this issue thanks to anand patwardhan (movie maker) and medha herself, and ofcourse my teachers.
the Sardar Sarovar Project will not reach the poor drought striken people at all. The water is really targetted at the capitalists who have already built factories where the narmada water will come. All the adivasi's will be displaced from there native place. the land the government has offered is not fertile enough to grow anything. since the only occupation they know is fishing and farming they won't survive in the place gov. has given them.Adivasi's have never bought things from outside they were self sufficient unlike us. the dam also causes natural diasters like earth quake which won't be that natural anymore. Ms.patkar is not saying that the dam shouldn't be build. she and the rest of the NBA are saying provide proper resettlement sites for the displaced people before increasing the height of the dam.
I am willing to give my life only if all the people realize why would so many people lie.
