Synopsis

With its 18 October 2000 judgement, the Supreme Court allowed construction to resume on the Sardar Sarovar dam. But controversy still rages around the dam, and any chance of debate between the widely differing opinions on it is drowned in angry rhetoric.

Synopsis

Following the judgement on the Sardar Sarovar dame, the author tries to understand the issues dividing opinion on it. He reveals that the way such dams have been conceived should disturb us all, as they seem to be built, more for the sake of politics than for solving the problems of water, floods and power.
