First sentence: In the early 1990s, I lived in the Rajasthan desert of northwest India, along one of the world's largest irrigation canals and resettlement projects which was financed and organized by many of the major international finance and development organizations - the World Bank, Canadian, Japanese and Swedish aid agencies, UNICEF and the Ford Foundation.
