their natural resources are getting depleted by urban consumerist
society. She has been associated with the Narmada Bhachao
Andolan project for seventeen years the release states.

Narmada is symbolic of the development paradigm. Its Narmada
Bachao, Manav Bachao, and it's also Desh bachao
in the present kind of valueless politics, criminal and
communal politics."

received when a Supreme Court judgement a couple of
years ago went against it.
