Abstract:
This paper focuses on the struggles being waged by the Narmada Bachao Andolan, a rural social movement opposing displacement due to dams along India’s Narmada River. Building a comparison between two major anti-dam struggles within the Andolan, around the Sardar Sarovar and Maheshwar dams, this study seeks to show that multi-sited social movements pursue a variety of scale and place-based strategies and this multiplicity is key to the possibilities for progressive change that they embody. The paper highlights three aspects of the Andolan. First, the Andolan has successfully combined environmental networks and agricultural identities across the space of its struggle. The Andolan became internationally celebrated when its resistance led to the World Bank withdrawing funding for the Sardar Sarovar dam in 1993. This victory was viewed as a consequence of the Andolan’s successful utilization of transnational environmental networks. However, the Andolan has also intervened in agrarian politics within India and this role of the Andolan emerges when the struggle against the Maheshwar dam is considered. Second, this paper examines the role played by the Andolan in building a national movement against displacement. Given that India’s Supreme Court gave permission for the continued construction of the Sardar Sarovar dam in 2000, the power of the state to push through destructive development projects cannot be underestimated. The national level thus remains an important scale for the Andolan’s struggle leading to the formation of social movement networks and the construction of collective identities around experiences of rural and urban displacement. Third, this paper reflects on how common access to the Narmada river also provides a material basis for the formation of a collective identity, one which can be used to address the class divisions that characterize the Andolan’s membership. Overall, the paper aims to contribute to the study of social movements by showing how attachments to multiple geographies ensure that a movement’s potential futures always exceed the nature of its present forms of resistance.

Abstract:
Probably India’s best-known documentary film-maker Anand Patwardhan, for close to four decades now, has been raking the country’s political consciousness through his films, which delve into the crux of India’s social and political lives. In this piece, the editors have put together, with Patwardhan’s permission, his writings from his blog ( http://patwardhan.com/wp/ ) on the state atrocities upon Dalits in Maharashtra, the protests through poems and songs by a young group of Dalit activists from Pune—the Kabir Kala Manch (KKM)—and the satyagraha for the freedom of expression by its leaders like Sheetal Sathe; on the Supreme Court judgment that failed the Narmada Bachao Andolan as well as the belief in the justice system, making irrelevant a whole body of evidence built by the Andolan over the years that underlined the huge financial and human costs of the Sardar Sarovar dam project; and on the whole climate of intolerance that was behind the attack on M. F. Husain for his depiction of Hindu goddess Saraswati. This piece also includes a commentary by Alex Napier on Patwardhan’s documentary of the Narmada Bachao Andolan, drawn from Patwardhan’s blog. These are important social commentaries of our times.

Abstract:
The human and environmental consequences of big development projects such as large dams have been a focus of increasing attention in many countries. Large-scale involuntary resettlement caused by such projects has become particularly contentious in a number of situations. In India where many large dams have been and are being built, the Sardar Sarovar dam on the Narmada river has been at the centre of a storm for over a decade. The latest development in the history of this project is the judgment given by the Supreme Court of India on 18 October 2000 adjudicating a public interest litigation petition filed by the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA—Save the Narmada Movement). This decision is of great significance not only for the project itself but also from a broader perspective.

Abstract:
The multiplication of legal orders is characteristic of what one could call an age of globalization and counter-hegemonic globalization. In this age, the relationship between international law and other normative orders is increasingly important. The dominant disciplinary frameworks that provide explanations of such a relationship are focused on compliance with and/or the effectiveness of international norms in domestic legal orders and are derived from international relations. In this article, I examine the limits and possibilities of such approaches through a case study of the use of law (at multiple levels) by one of India's most prominent social movements, the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Save the Narmada). The article argues that the use of law by a social movement is a concrete instance of counter-hegemonic globalization in which international law is one of many different legal orders, a situation of global legal pluralism, in which it is impossible to tell in advance which normative order will best advance cosmopolitan goals such as human rights.

Abstract:
The present article endeavors to analyze Arundhati Roy’s critique of big dams and projects. An attempt is made to bring home various dimensions and commitments that inform her critique of the big dams which cause more damage and devastation than serving the needs of the people at large. The primary focus is on Ms. Roy’s participation in the Narmada Bachao Andolan which is an Indian resistance movement that tries to prevent building of large dams, reservoirs and power plants. As the building of projects may lead to evacuation of villages and to lose immovable properties numerous environmentalists, humanists, activists and other personalities also have condemned the government for the decisions and implementations. Arundhati Roy is one among them who raises awareness of dangers of massive dams, of resulting forced relocation of people and of damage to environment. The present article is going to discuss the tireless and selfless service of Arundhati Roy and the NBA to tens of thousands of farmers, Adivasis and common people who are participating in the protest to oppose the aforementioned large structures constructed by the Narmada Valley Development Authority (NVDA). In conclusion, the article also attempts to bring out the various aspects and convictions that informed Roy’s critique of big projects.

Abstract:
This research paper explores the beginnings, significant turning points, and effects on policy and public awareness of the historical development of environmental movements in India. In India, environmental movements have arisen in reaction to several issues such as land degradation, climate change, industrial pollution, deforestation, and water scarcity. With protests against exploitative forestry practices and dam construction projects during the colonial era, modern environmental activism emerged. Its roots are in India’s rich cultural past, where reverence for nature has been engrained for millennia. Following independence, attention turned to projects fuelled by development, which created tensions between industry and conservation. Notable campaigns against environmental degradation and displacement include the Chipko Movement in the 1970s, in which peasants embraced trees to stop deforestation, and the Narmada Bachao Andolan in the 1980s, which protested against massive dam projects. To fully appreciate the intricacies, motivations, and consequences of environmental movements in India, it is imperative that we first grasp their historical trajectory. This will help us to better shape sustainable development paths for the twenty-first century.

Abstract:
Lawrence Cox (1999) has argued that the established perspectives on social movements operate with an inadequately narrow conception of the ‘object’ that is being studied and thus tends to ‘reify’ “movements” as usual activity against essentially static backgrounds, and in its place, he advocates a concept of social movement as the more or less developed articulation of situated rationalities. Following Cox, therefore, the present study perceives social movements as articulations of situated rationalities by perceiving them as a tactical, dialectical response to the harsh realities of the political system. This would help us capture the essential dynamic and transformative aspects of the movement. Any social movement, and for that matter, environmental movements are characterized by the presence of agencies and structural components, which, however, are not a priori and static. They are rather dynamic and get changed and transformed in the course of the movement. Precisely for this reason, the environmental movements can at best be comprehended by way of locating and analyzing the dynamism and transformations of the movements produced by the dialectical interaction of the various components and parameters of the movement over a span of time. Hence, the present paper aims to evaluate the dynamics and transformations of the environmental movements in India, taking the case of the Narmada Bachao Andolan, and, adopting a strategic relational approach within the agent-structure framework as its framework of analysis. For the present purpose, however, we have taken only two variables, namely, Ideology and Leadership and attempted the analysis of their contributions in producing movement dynamics.Hydro Nepal: Journal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue No. 4, January, 2009 Page 24-29

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes how the interests of minority and majority groups in state-led development practices can be bridged, with the Indian tribals affected by the Sardar Sarovar Dam Project (SSP) serving as a context for my analysis. The SSP threatens the livelihoods of approximately 100,000 people with displacement, who are primarily comprised of Indian tribal minorities. The construction of the SSP makes tribals more vulnerable to the risks associated with development-induced displacement, such as landlessness, joblessness, homelessness, marginalization, and food insecurity. When analyzing the SSP, a lack of adequate compensation, resettlement, and legal protection for the tribals becomes apparent. This has led to discussions of human rights violations among the national and international community, raising concerns regarding the protection of minority groups affected by state-led development. Attention is placed on what it means to be a citizen of a country in terms of legal representation and state protection, and how the under-representation of societal groups can lead to the creation of second-class citizens. The objective is to go beyond current discussions of human rights neglect in the context of the SSP by analyzing the position of minority rights in state-led development practices.

Abstract:
After tracing the history of dam-building, specifically the Sardar Sarovar Project in the Narmada river which traverses the three states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, this chapter analyzes the Narmada Bachao Andolan protest movement which started in the 1980s and was led by Medha Patkar and others following the Gandhian method of satyagraha. The NBA took the SSP to the Indian Supreme Court with the help of the World Bank, leading to the suspension of the project for a short time. The NBA is continuing its efforts to obtain a proper rehabilitation policy for the indigenous population (adivasi) displaced by the SSP, as the government has infringed on the right to survival of the people living around the dams. The NBA has made a global impact by launching a dialogue about biodiversity and sustainability.

Abstract:
Abstract The title of Chapter 5, ‘Narmada Bachao, Manav Bachao’, is taken from one of the main slogans of the Save the Narmada movement, and literally means ‘Save the Narmada, Save the Humans’. Drawing on oral history fieldwork conducted while living in a punarvasan or resettlement colony with Bhils displaced by the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River, as well as fieldwork conducted in displaced villages in the hills directly above the reservoir created by the dam, it asks whether people who lived through one of the most famous environmental battles in modern Indian history, and who suffered the loss of their ancestral homes in the river valley, see themselves as ‘endangered’. While Narmada Bachao Andolan activists often argued that Adivasi culture itself was being drowned out along with Adivasi lands and villages, the assessment was much more complex amongst displaced villagers themselves. Looking back on Bhil history, this chapter reflects on how the same general paradigm which sees the Bhils as threatened with extermination has been applied to these communities at least since the outset of the colonial encounter in the early nineteenth century.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter argues that political, institutional, and environmental movements play a major role in preventing under-assessment of the true costs of projects in environmental impact assessment exercises. Such movements unearth the hidden social costs of projects and compel regulatory authorities and investors to integrate them in project documents. This, in turn, contributes to the flow of improved compensatory packages for the displaced victims of large infrastructure projects. Thus the initial assessment of the authorities that the environmental costs of the Narmada dam was confined to loss of forests was abandoned after the Narmada Bachao Andolan came up with their assessment of true social costs of the dam. But for the intervention of the Narmada Bachao Andolan, the oversimplified initial assessment of costs worked out for the dam would have persisted and carried through. Likewise, schemes relating to Payment for Ecosystem Services aim to provide local communities with appropriate rewards for their contribution to the conservation of ecosystem services. Indeed in many cases, payment for ecosystem services has been successful in getting victims of large infrastructure projects to be comprehensively compensated for their losses.

Abstract:
Three Indian environmental movements are analyzed – the Chipko movement of the 1970s against deforestation, Narmada Bachao Andolan in the 1980s against dam-building, and Navdanya, the contemporary movement against genetically modified organisms (GMOs) – from three dimensions: nonviolence, feminism, and environmentalism. Each of these movements has accomplished its goals, with Chipko achieving a 15-year ban on tree-cutting, NBA succeeding in slowing down the building of dams on the Narmada river through litigation with the help of the World Bank and still fighting for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the displaced people, and Navdanya promoting local organic seeds for small farmers in India whose rights have been violated by multinational corporations monopolizing GM crops. The three movements followed three principles: environmental justice, intergenerational equality, and respect for nature.

Abstract:
Chapter 8 reviews the progress of the Ecological approach across the world, in both developed and developing countries. In the United States, this progress can be seen in both dam removal and river restoration activities, including attempts to resuscitate the Colorado River Delta. In Europe, the progress of the Ecological approach has assumed a comprehensive character, as evidenced by the European Union’s Water Framework Directive (WFD) of 2000. The Ecological approach has made advances in developing countries too, many of which were practicing the pre-industrial variant of the Ecological approach until recently. The Narmada Bachao Andolon of India was a strong manifestation of the Ecological approach. Influenced, in part, by their pre-industrial ecological traditions, many developing countries have now taken such advanced steps as giving rivers and nature constitutional rights to exist and survive and not be disrupted by human interventions. These broader initiatives have provided further impetus for the Ecological approach to spread in developing countries.
