read about him here
this septuagenarian (he's 76) is fighting with all "his might" to save the Ganges and apply some brakes of conscience and care on mindless "development" - if we can call it that.
even if we ignore the contentious religious aspects of his fight, he has enough scientific reasons to justify his opposition to the hydel power projects being planned/executed north of uttarkashi on the ganges/bhagirathi. this is further strengthen by the backing of other scientific bodies - not that he needs their backing to prove a point.
he's been fasting for the last fifteen days and all i can do is pray for his success and health! and yes, i'm writing this to do my little bit to help. request all of you to spread the message too! Thanks.
