We learn the problems with our system by so many hard lessons but instead of learning from the mistake and making sure it doesn't happen again, we will bury these in our memory only to bring it back like "De Ja Vu" during another incident.
What happened in Kalinganagar in Orissa, when innocent tribals fighting for their land against unjust land-grab for criminal corporatists, [ding! ding!! again the Culprit is our infamous TATA!!!], should have been fresh in our mind. Indiscriminate firing by the police killed 12 poor villagers. We all did hue & cry but for how long? 2 days? Do we even know what happened to the judicial inquiry of that?
Had we taken a BIG stand on the issue then and see to it the criminals behind that atrocities are punished, 20 innocent lives in Nandigram could have been saved. At least now, are we going to do something or just cry?
There are more of these Nandigram [aka neo-Jallianwalabagh] style massacres lurking in future, until people own up the responsibilities and fight it out.
If there is similar event happens again, we have failed as people and should complain no more of anyone but ourselves.
