The real cost is the erasure of a living history for a spreadsheet's promise of 'development'. I have seen the cracked earth where the Teesta's bounty was stolen, leaving our *cha-dokan* owners with nothing but a laminated compensation notice. So when they speak of resettlement, I see the price is not in rupees, but in the extinction of a people's relationship with their own land.
