The current floods in Sindh, Pakistan have displaced thousands of poor villagers and deprive them of their houses, livestock and crops.
After a severe drought lasting eight years, when the rain finally came this year, people of Badin, Thatta and Thar had forgotten about the miseries that had accompanied rains in 1994 and the cyclone in 1999. The romance of sawan had clouded their wisdom and they did not understand that the network drains and the notorious LBOD had changed their ecology for good. There won't be any safe monsoon again.
