Criticizing one of the most “successful” operations in India seems to be Shanti George's motto in this groundbreaking book of its time, Operation Flood. Ms. George definitely didn't take the easy way out as she put this book together. It takes a wonderful amount of courage to evaluate such a gigantic operation that has often garnered positive reactions from much of the world and mainstream development discourse at the time of its release. In this publication he has debunked myths with plausible explanations that even the best promoters of the White Revolution cannot deny and this is what makes the book fascinating. In this 1985 book Shanti George leaves no stone unturned to describe the Milk Revolution in India. which was introduced by Verghese Kurien. He has divided this book into two parts (technically four parts, if the Introduction and Conclusion are called separate); the first was Production and the second, Marketing, after which a general introduction to the book was given. This division made it easier for readers to better understand this criticism. This allowed the author to compartmentalize the history, evolution and technical aspects exceptionally well. The structure of the book makes it easier for the reader to read. The reasons for Operation Flood, objectives, technical aspects and goals as well as limitations are discussed in the first part of the book. This part also discusses the connection between the Green Revolution and the White Revolution. The second part explains the history of the Project and its evolution. This really establishes the goals as the goals of the project. The author then introduces Wright's observations and agrees with his colonial policies on Indian dairy products. You discuss the... middle of paper... are yet to realize the impact of the Green Revolution here. The most surprising point to me is that there was a significant connection between the Green Revolution and the White Revolution. The book is a pioneer in the area of ​​critiquing traditional development discourse. Although this discourse has had newer ideas in recent years, the pioneer is always special. For this the name of Shanti George will be remembered. Although we have romanticized the notions of the bygone era, we can never go back to our past and bring it back. The only thing we can do now is change our future so that we make better mistakes and not the same ones. We can shape our future in such a way that we learn from the past. Our future policies must take into account our past. This point made by the author is in my opinion the biggest takeaway from this book.
