Excuse me for butting in here, C'da.

"self-appointed" scientist? Isn't Dr. Kalam a recognized, well known scientist?

Rajen:

Two things to note:

1: Do you keep tab on all that appears in Assam Net? If you do, how did you miss what I posted?

2:Who is this "--- scientific co community" comprised of, and is capable of passing verdicts?

India's top self-appointed "scientist", APJ Kalam, from his bully pulpit at Hastinapur has ignored/brushed aside the Indian scientific community's opposition to Riverlinking. So who is the 'scientific community' that you put your faith in? The people who know about rivers, hydrology, geology and the environment, or a rocket engineer, or who-have-you?

No I am 100% honest.

In the last 50 years of my experience, I have not seen a thing in any Assamese media or any NGO discussing this.

Neither I have seen anything in this net.

I saw lots of discussion on River Linking Projects for saving Narmada etc but not a thing on Brahamaputra.

Again my question is there an authentic report on Brhamaputra Flood Control which is accepted by the scientific community or is it still under debate?

The next question will be if there is an professional report accepted by the scientific co community, why it is not Being implemented a or why there is no movement or lobby?

What is lacking?
