Seeds of Disaster

Sen, Bandhudas. "The Green Revolution of India". Halsted Press: New York. 1974. Print

Sen suggests that the purpose of this book is to present a balanced appraisal of the changes produced by high-yielding crop varieties known as the Green Revolution. "What some have  chosen to call the seeds of change, others have chosen to call the seeds of disaster." This book goes on to place a balanced view on the achievements and failures of the Green Revolution. This book will be beneficial in understand how the Tibetan refugees originally were caught up in the Green Revolution and then following the Dalai Lamas direct statement of living organically. It will help me to understand why some believed it to be beneficial and others 'disaterous'.
