SAWARA was founded in 1982 for the specific purpose to inform and unify the voice of the Tucson community on water issues and to develop community support for the Central Arizona Project, CAP.
It was SAWARA’s intent to be the organization that could speak for the whole Tucson community and assure the Bureau of Reclamation, building the CAP canal, that Tucson needed and intended to use a large amount of the CAP water (1, 2, 4).

 Historical Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Source 4 sees TRWC largely composed of special interest groups of land developers and others seeking water for their land, achieving 100 year assured water supplies for their developments, extension of City services to their properties, andthe development of water features, such as lakes, on their land.
SAWARA staff feel that they have accomplished three of their main goals; namely: 1) Getting CAP canal to Tucson, 2) Getting businessmen involved in water issues, and 3) Getting Xeriscaping ingrained into community.
TRWC has not gone out of business, but is taking a back seat to SAWARA until there is a need for political action of the type not appropriate for SAWARA.

According to reliable sources, the commission observed that vani and sawara, prevalent in the Punjab and the NWFP respectively, for marrying off women to members of a rival party as an instrument of settling a vendetta or effecting a compromise in a dispute, were inhuman and against the injunctions of Islam.

The commission wrote to chief justices of the four provinces in Dec 2001 that laws against the marriage of children and customs of vani and sawara should be implemented in letter and spirit.

Mitsumushi, on the other hand, probably has the film's weakest character development, her overall purpose to the film is never understood nore is anything with her past or motives explored.
The music given for the preparation before the battle with Sawara's Followers is probably the film's best cue, and does a awesome job of adding tension to the scene.
