QUOTES

ecology is permanent economy

"We in Himalaya are facing a crisis of survival due to the suicidal activities being carried out in the name of development... The monstrous Tehri dam is a symbol of this... There is need for a new and long-term policy to protect the dying Himalaya. I do not want to see the death of the most sacred river of the world - the Ganga - for short-term economic gains."

Conversion of a perverted society into a cultural society needs the joint efforts of humanitarian scientists, social activists and compassionate men of letters.

We invite all people who share our concerns to join us to swell this minority until its voice becomes loud enough to be heard.
