Book synopsis

Environmental and socio-cultural considerations have often been ignored or neglected in development projects in developing countries which resulted in the deterioration of environment and disruption of socio-cultural fabric. One man's folly is another man's fortune. The far reaching impacts of water resources development projects, no doubt makes the nation prosperous, but those who sacrifice are usually deprived of. The areas submerged and the inhabitants dislocated with numerous reminiscences and cultural ties are obviously ignored and tempted with negligible amount of compensation, which is, in no way can bring back their social associations. Researchers did a lot, covering the technical aspects of Tarbela dam and talked high on the replacement of land to the affectees, but turned deaf ear to the psychological and sociological shocks which the affectees are still suffering in. They are still remembering earlier glories of their ancestral lives and the attachment which a native may realize for his birth place. How one can forget the places where one played and the rills one enjoyed. They felt the project had problems with adequately compensating and resettling the affectees.
