Gandhi chose to bring the society and the nation together with his famous hunger strikes. Medha is doing just for her own sake now. I've seen this nonsense going on for decades now (since my teens and I'm into my late thirties at present). Had she been honest to her cause, the issue might have been resolved years ago. It's an important issue. We must have a fair policy about development and the social cost that we have to pay as a result. The concept of Narmada Bachao Andolan is relevant, but Medha's antics are not. A hell lot of time has been wasted, the matter has been sub-judice and is being guided by the top judicial authority in India,...yet she continues with her threats to die of hunger.
Many in Gujarat and around - who have been a witness to this bizarre drama since its inception - wouldn't mind if she was allowed to carry out that threat now!
