| Annotation: | Tracing the ethic of “ecological prudence” as it developed and deteriorated over the course of Indian history before and during colonialism as well as after independence, Gadgil writes that a renewed understanding of this traditional, religiously-rooted conservation ethic, in conjunction with modern, scientific analyses of the need for prudent resource use, must inform India’s environmental policies. |
