Dr GD Agarwal


India seemingly does not care for its environmentalists. This brutal truth has come to the forefront once again following the death of Dr GD Agarwal, who led a 111-day fast for the protection of the Ganga.

“His life is in danger, but nobody cares. We are really worried now,” said Rajendra Singh, a water activist and winner of the Ramon Magsaysay award, in a conversation with The Third Pole in July.

The environmentalist, Gandhian, religious leader and former professor from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, passed away yesterday afternoon after a 111-day fast protesting against the inaction in saving the Ganga from pollution and environmental degradation.

Agarwal began his Satyagraha on June 22, saying he would fast unto death unless significant steps were taken towards reviving the Ganga’s uninterrupted flow and Parliament passed the Ganga Protection Management Act.

Compassion literally means “to suffer together.” Among emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another's suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. Compassion is not the same as empathy or altruism.
