Good day John. Thank you for this article on Water as a crucial issue, in this case focusing on a fascinating nation of surging energy and immeasurable potential. You mention the 'dichotomy of two very different populations pulling in different directions'. That may well be the greatest understatement of the article. The vantage point of some prevents them (or threatens them) from seeing what is plain and obvious to others. Therein lies the inertia. The genius of addressing any situation in India at national level may be to conceive solutions that will benefit the majority, preferably not excluding or prejudicing other key and valid interests, and then convince the myriad players to move in the same direction. Otherwise each individual and group will go on using their own initiative and energy - as they do - to carve out a living in the face of indifference and opposition. God bless India
