Even when objectively inclined to the same side of an argument as Ms.Roy, I find myself annoyed by the sheer stupidity of her reasoning. The Narmada Dam issue, for example: her initial column in Outlook was an ill-considered polemic against technology in general, with some sappy romanticisation of tribal lifestyles, while impressively managing to avoid any convincing or substantive argument (and this on a subject where powerful arguments exist: social justice, environmental impact, the preservation of cultural diversity, to name a few).
What she said. Thanks, Divya - that saves me from having to say basically the same thing.
