you term yourself as a sensible citizen??? well I dont think so. Let me put some sense in you.
1)as per your stistics you maybe right, but the matter of a farmer's farm land is all an eyewash. The entire stretch of land or almost is 14 ft under the plain land, which causes a waterlogging effect in it. Thats why it is called a "bheri" in Bengali, which means a pond kind of area where fishes are cultured. Another point is there are instances of farmers who used to get an income of 1000/- per annum only because of this so called "farm land", and after selling of his land to Tata he is getting a monthly 2400/- per month by the instalment amount he is getting from the fixed deposit he has made with the land selling amount. Which means he is almost 100% beneficial.
2) All your stuffs about the demand and supply of fuel price looks good in books but when it comes to actual a small car like Nano would consume the least amount of fuel and would support the emmision norms. At least its far better than the two stroke under maintained autos which ply all over Kolkata and pollutes the city drastically.
