We keep pushing the technologies, pushing the people, pushing the environments, as if there were not limits but there of course are and they are pushing back…

BBC’s Business Matters, one of their more conservative shows:
Our final programme live from India and our second from Kolkata, today we’re talking about the issue of land. With no space left in the cities, Indian industries are looking to expand onto agricultural land, but the country’s farmers are putting up a fight. The Modi government tried and failed to push through a series of land reforms – we’ll hear arguments from both sides of the debate.
We visit Bangalore, a city famous for its technology industry and infamous for its traffic jams. Like many Indian cities, Bangalore’s infrastructure is collapsing under the strain of a huge population. We ask three locals to give us their views on the problems facing the city.
Maggi noodles were one of India’s most popular food products – until a recent contamination scare led to a ban and millions of packets being destroyed. The sales ban was overturned after laboratory testing found no evidence that the noodles contained dangerous levels of lead, as had been alleged. We hear what impact the saga has had on Maggi sellers and their customers.
Kolkata is one of the noisiest places in India – traffic is so dense and loud that deafness is a growing problem. Now campaigners are trying to convince drivers to hold off honking their horns – but it’s a task much easier said than done.
Throughout the programme, host Rahul Tandon is joined by author Sandip Roy and environmental activist Bonani Kakkar.
