Sadness keeps striking !!!
by Nikhil on Apr 07, 2006 01:02 AM

I don't understand politics, and i don't think i ever will and especially

that of India's. I mean is it really that hard to see through this, what

more evidence does the government of India need till they realize the

injustice being done to all the Adivasis. The World Bank had

personally sent investigators and they declared that the conditions

the Narmada Project said it would meet, was in fact not being met

and so they withdrew from giving India the 400+ million dollars. Even

after this, the government of India fails to recognize the severity of

this matter. I mean people are literally loosing their homes and it's

not even their fault. They are Adivasis who are harmless people, they

live on the land, that's all they know, to live off their

surroundings. How can India's conscience allow for this to happen

and anyhow how are the cash settlements, they offer to give, going to

solve any of this. The Adivasis don't live in the city, they don't know

of the lifestlye in the cities and its not their fault that they don't.

Seriously, this is India, a country who speaks so highly behalf of their

culture and their morals and ethics. Then where is ethics behind all of

this!!!!
