In the attached paper, "A Critique of Loharinag-Pala, Pala-Maneri and other Hydroelectric Projects on R.Bhagirathi," Dr. Agrawal articulates his reasons for choosing this path. He points out the ample scientific data questioning the net economic, ecological and human value of these projects. He also makes it clear that at the core of his resolve is a profound belief that these projects would essentially destroy the Ganga, the very symbol of our civilization that continues to be revered by millions and is vital to our culture. By offering his life, Dr. Agrawal has challenged us to critically examine not only the threat to Ganga, but also the present mode of development that threatens all our natural resources and promises nothing more than the skewed economic growth that enriches a few at the expense of the vast majority. We need to initiate a broad based debate to choose the path of development that draws upon our own experiences and is rooted in the genius of our civilization. Dr. Agrawal will begin the fast from June 13th to bring a halt to the projects that will choke the Bhagirathi-Ganga River. We are deeply touched by his firm resolve. He has depth and conviction and we believe he will carry through his resolve. We ask that you join us in urging the policy makers to immediately engage with Dr. Agrawal and others to address the concerns raised. The matter is urgent. We need both to protect the Bhagirathi-Ganga and save the life of this great man, a rare combination of Scientist and Rishi (see attached). Please take a moment to sign the petition in support of Dr. Agrawal and our life-giving river to the Honorable Prime Minister of India by going online to: http://www.petitiononline.com/bgc00001/petition.html Please forward this mail to as many people as possible. We need many more thousands to sign the petition before we present it to the Prime Minister and others. We look forward to your valuable support. We also seek your suggestion for making this campaign more effective in support of this worthwhile cause. The very future of our civilization may be at stake. With best regards, *Prof. P. K. Mehta, Abhay Bhushan, Gita Dev, S. R. Hiremath, Surekha and Prithvi Sharma, Bhupen Mehta, Somnath Mukherji, Sanat Mohanty, Netika Raval, Karthik Suryanarayana, Rajni and Kailash Narayan, Sampada and Vishal Kudchadkar *The list to be expanded based on your feedback ************** Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

The Business sector and Industrialist will learn a jolly good lesson, in this way when the employees who join in this activity and give up their three days wages, are also fasting along with India's greatest of Scientist. May all our Indians around the world join in on the same three days and see how things will work out for this important matter.It's high time an All India movement is started to help in these kind of matters. United we stand , divided we fall. God Bless you all, Barbara Thyab Ali.
