Well said Subharoy. Some self-proclaimed progreesive development folks try to claim that they know it all and it is time to go fully into Inductrialization.
What they don't see is Industrialization can NEVER or should replace Agriculture. Moment is does, we are all screwed.
Above all, you can't play with people's life like this. Good point on No mass movement without local support. Will well-educated ingorant idiots, who claims 'outside' hands, take a note?
