"Big dams are monuments to political corruption and power. They are technologically obsolete, ecologically dangerous and economically unviable. They are most devastating. Like a silent war".: -- Arundhati Roy

Interlinking major rivers of India seems to appeal to the popular imagination. Rejuvenated by the Central Government recently, this project promises to be the most massive and most controversial 'development-infrastructure' project that might ever be undertaken. Despite this, the Indian Parliament has not witnessed any debate, with all major political parties deciding to back the ruling coalition on this project. See:
