Excellent piece Mr. Gadgil. How evocatively you have described the process of "development". Yes undoubtedly our problems stem from the anti people, globalised model of development we have bought into creating a dehumanised society and a system that is slowly but surely programming us to believe that we can only survive by conforming to it. I only hope that you are right and that we can stem the tide before it overwhelms us totally and completely.
