From my recent post on dredging the Sethusamudram canal business:<blockquote>The Indian government has just taken a gamble. If the project can achieve the objectives that the government has set for it, it may even mitigate the damage it is causes the environment. And for the time being at least, New Delhi can count on high oil prices to keep it from looking silly.

Their are so many bottlenecks in our transport network that can be fixed before we do something of this scale. Also, this will hurt Sri Lanka. I believe that with countries such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and even Pakistan the only way for them to take an active role in our development would be if they had a personal interest in it. We should pursue lopsided trade agreements with these countries. It will initially hurt the indian economy, but in the long term will make us more competitive, and more importantly restructure these neighboring economies so they become dependent on India, and India's growth.
