The game of snakes & ladders was created by the 13th century poet saint Gyandev. It was originally called 'Mokshapat.' The ladders in the game represented virtues and the snakes indicated vices. The game was played with cowrie shells and dices. Later through time, the game underwent several modifications but the meaning is the same i.e good deeds take us to heaven and evil to a cycle of re-births.

The activities of this Govt is nothing but a bad novel.The people of WB have seen the novel start with Singur which is till on.At the end of the novel,we might see the bad force leaving the state.
Mahasweta knows she got a lot of benefit from West Bengal Govt and possibly she cannt get any more. She is thus against the govt. What is happening in Nandigram is fight between two sides and both are die-hard. We need to wait to cool it down. Sending police or army will cause unnecessary things..they did a mistake not to allow to set up industry now let them die.

It is not only Mahasweta Devi wh9o only is accusing the Govt for all these,any intellectual with a little bit of brain would have done that.On one hand,someone will say "We are 235 and they are 30..who would stop us"...and continue building Factory at Singur,imposing illigal 144 ,no one can bring peace in this state.Why call all party meeting and try to enforce peace and be a hypocrite?If you have guts,fight with that 30 and capture your lost land.

Suvra Let them die.They did a mistake.Why then call unnecessory meetings?Why try to enforce peace and cooling down?Why is AG of the satte afaraid of CBI Enquiry?Why the 10 people caught red handed from janani Birck Bhanta still roaming free?One more thing.You have admitted that it is a fight between two sides.One every one knows.Bhumi uchched protirodh commitee.Who is the other?Is it not CPM?will CPM have the guts to admit like you ?Will you also have the guts to take the other sides name?
This shows what CPM is doing with those poor ppl in nandigram..on the other hand if you watch tv or read newspaper you will see that respected Chief Minister is pretending as if he is the FATHER of all those ppl and as if he can't sleep thinking about them..yeah, it seems that he is not sleeping properly bcoz as nandigram is a big headache to him, so he wants to finish it anyway..even by sending outsiders with arms..Shame shame MARXISTS!!
