India's Leading Activist Patkar Takes on Corporate Control of Water. Democracy Now 3/23/09 3 of 2

We speak with Medha Patkar, one of Indias best-known and best-loved social activists. She is the iconic founder of the Save the Narmada Movement and the National Alliance of Peoples Movements. She led the nonviolent struggle against the Sardar Sarovar dam project over the Narmada River for more than two decades and continues to fight for the rights of some 300,000 people, those already made homeless and those facing displacement by the dam. Patkar has organized several mass rallies, demonstrations and hunger strikes, survived numerous jail terms and police violence, and won many important victories.
