Counterview 18th October 2020: Soul of Narmada movement, Jagannath kaka absolves Nehru of sanctioning High Dam

These are some important excerpts from the oral history of the struggle against the SSP that began in Madhya Pradesh in the decade of 1970s as narrated by Kaka . This kind of history is not shared very often by the persons affected by the project even though they have lived through this history with depth and insight.
