EveryBody loves popularity by easy means and I think Medha is one of them.She doing what she has no answer.Plz Medha stop all these and help govt how the peopels will be rehabilated properly.What Medha have done till,only Sitting and nt eating.Is it a way to fight for peoples for their rights.She shd give up all and be involved in spending her valuable time in others respected work like improving the situation of Street children in Cities like kolkata,Mumbai,Chennai

Mr. Sanjay,
Just Sitting and not eating??? FYI: This is called fasting and this method is one of the non-violent modes of protesting. This has been followed for generations together including leaders like Gandhiji. Were they wrong in doing so?
If Medha wanted to be famous.. with her education and background she definitely has a lot of other options. Please understand the cause for which she is fighting, a very noble cause.. when all of us are living in the comforts of the city she has created a bond with the villagers there and we need to respect it.
Hats Off to Medhaji for her work .. and I hope she will be succesful with the NBA .. I would also request her to look into / suggest alternate ideas to benefit poor villagers in Gujarat etc.. who are looking forward to receiving Narmada water...

Medha Ji or whoever it is. She is wrong if she is fighting against the increase it height of the dam. It she is so much attached to the tribals and others who are affected , ask for a place where they can be moved and LIVE together. It is Sad that people have to leave the place where they have lived for 100's of yrs. Our Govt has to meet the GROWING DEMANDS OF THE COUNTRY and shouldn't worry about who is attached to whom. Our HIGHEST Court has approved the increase in the height of the dam. Who is Medha to protest for something she even can't justify it. If they are living close to the river and are depending on that, they have to move to a slightly higher place and be close to the river when the height is increased. It is simple as that sounds. If the Govt is not doing the needed to help the displaced, then PROTEST. Not by not eating. I Just eat 1-2 times a day. I'm getting used to eat. Similarly it looks like Medha is getting used to eating in once is 6-7 days. She knows for sure, that the govt will force her to eat or take her to the hospital. Why screw your own life? Gandhiji followed in then because he had MILLIONs behind him.

Hi Sanjay,ever tried de kind of fast that Medha's undertaking.No,I guess.Thats why u find it sweet 2 say that she's doing it 4(cheap) popularity.She has been raising this issue for so many yrs now & doesnt need to do it for publicity any more.And do you think that de Govt needs Medha to tell it how 2 rehabilitate ppl.Me thinks thats the Govt's OWN job to do. I challenge you to just SIT & NOT EAT for one good cause,unlike that showman Modi who sits surrounded by the media & 100s of hanger-ons and actually announces when he is gonna end his fast.He is comes off much worse than Medha.She had to be forcibly be taken to the hospital, in case you didn't know it.

Who has asked you if you are from IIT or MIT? I hope you IITians come out of the cocoon of self-important world. The fact that you oppose the dam and praise medha patkar makes it clear how good a \"technocrat\" you are....
