Development at a cost
Holding on to their homes despite rising waters are the residents of the Narmada Valley. Destructive Development should be stopped. Many of us living in the urban areas and going to Graduate school in the United States fail to understand the impact of such destructive development. We don't realize what it means to lose our place of habitat where we have been living 25 years.

The Narmada Valley inhabitants have been facing a smiliar predicament and are fighting for their rights.
