india's rapid growth is coming at a speed (a speed aided by massive environmental and human justice violations) that will benefit only those who have already benefited. i call this 'developedment', meaning, more and more development for those who have already developed, but more and more destruction for the 2 crucial pillars of the nation, namely the ecology and the ecology dependent people.
some quotable quotes
The purpose of development should not be to develop things, but to develop Man.
— from the Cocoyoc Declaration, adopted at the UNEP/UNCTAD symposium on “Patterns of Resource Use, Environment and Development Strategies”; Cocoyoc, Mexico, October 1974.
