Criticizing one of the most 'successful' operations in India seems to be Shanti George's motto in this revolutionary book of its times, Operation Flood. Ms. George certainly did not choose the simplest solution in writing this book. It takes enormous courage to evaluate such a colossal operation which often elicited positive reactions from most countries in the world and the dominant development discourse at the time of its publication. In this publication, she shattered myths with plausible explanations that even the best promoters of the White Revolution cannot deny and that is what makes the book so charming. In this 1985 book, Shanti George leaves no stone unturned in describing the dairy revolution in India. which was started by Verghese Kurien. She has divided this book into two parts (technically four parts, if the introduction and conclusion are called separate); the first being production and the second marketing after a general introduction to the book. This split allowed readers to better understand this criticism. The spill allowed the author to compartmentalize the history, evolution as well as technical aspects exceptionally well. The structure of the book makes it easier for the reader to read. The reasons for Operation Flood, objectives, technical details and goals as well as limitations are discussed in the first part of the book. This part also addresses the link between the Green Revolution and the White Revolution. The second part explains the history of the project and its evolution. This really defines the goals of the project. The author then presents Wright's observations and endorses his colonial policy towards Indian dairy products. She discusses the ...... middle of paper ...... who has not yet realized the impact of the Green Revolution here. The most striking point here for me was that there was a significant connection between the Green Revolution and the White Revolution. The book is a pioneer in the field of critiquing the dominant developmental discourse. Even though this discourse has seen more recent ideas in recent years, the pioneer still occupies a special place. It is for this reason that Shanti George's name will always be remembered. Even though she romanticized notions of a bygone era, we can never go back to our past and bring it back. The only thing we can do now is to change our future so that we make better mistakes and not the same ones. We can shape our future in a way that learns from the past. Our future policies must take into account our past. This point raised by the author is the most important point to remember from this book in my opinion..
