I am sorry, but to say, that BJP as a whole is becoming another colonising enterprise.. It is the christian view, that anything not consumable or NOT used by man is a waste, and NaMo is reflecting the same attitude.
ReplyDeleteThere is a vast diverse eco system along the entire course of the river. The region where the river flows in to the sea, has its own habitat, for which the fresh river water has to flow through it.
Its totally wrong to assume, that river water flowing in to sea is a waste one, and such an attitude displays the colonial mindset..
Next, there is separate vegetation, fauna and flora specific to desert regions, which had evolved over thousands of years.. it may not be suitable for human living, or agriculture, but it has its own share in shaping the climate..
Pouring indus river water will greatly alter the entire landscapte and climate of the region, with unpredictable result, and loss of desert habitat..
