[lbo-talk] Arundhati Roy: an activist returns to the novel

[James Heartfield]

I remember having my doubts about the Narmada Dam campaign that Roy got 
involved in - though I don't guess that many on this list would have shared 
them.

There seemed to me to be some evidence that the anti-Dam campaigners were 
being sponsored by western environmental groups. Also, I was not sure why 
the World Bank (which pulled out of the project) should value their rights 
over those of the Indian state to generate electricity.
