- Summary:
- Explores some of the ways corruption is systematically destroying India's environment. When there is large scale corruption in the nature management sector, people lose respect for nature over a long time. Takes viewers to look at irrational policies (not based on scientific understanding, but on vested interests) in management of rivers, floods, forests, and urban planning; and demonstrates the results of such distorted practices.
