TATAs - You better pack ur bags to some dryzone state like TN, MH or AP!!!They will entertain you since they got nothing to lose. Bengal is the delta and can potentially be the rice bowl of India. When the entire world is facing a shortage of food and NOT cars, why ruin the fertile land by setting up a stupid car factory??? In these days,Rice is better business. Kerala is a eco-tourism hub. Why spoil the pristine nature with smoky factories??? No tourist will come to see factories !!!Tourism is big bucks and earning potential compared to some pvt sector automated factory!!!

Well Said. The Tamil Politicians are also political villains but one good thing is they brought in different industries-IT Chemical, Manufacturing, BPO etc which is feed millions in Tamilnadu now. Whether Tata Makes money or Politicians are corrupt, it doesnt affect ordinary man untill you have a job. With the number of engineering graduates rising exponentially, it would be a grave mistake for Bengal Politicians to let tata's move out of bengal. This will not stop with tata alone. the next generation is Nano Technology and Mechtronics industries and I guess New Ventures will study Tata's exit and rethink of investing in Bengal. There might be differences between workers and Tata Management and Politician's might count on the number of votere for short term benefit, but in long run, Bengalis might end up like Keralites living in different places except Kerala.
I hope politicians understand things in the right sense.

Development doesn't mean creating factories at the cost of food. Commodities are big business in today's world and not cars. If you blindly make factories, your land will turn into stone. Whats there to lose, TN is all full of stones with no water!!! --Tarzan

I guess, you got the facts partially. On what basis, you say AP, TN and MH are dry zones?

But you cant grow rice now in Singur..It is not cultivable..if this protest had came before construction of factory then maybe it would make some sense..but now its totally nonsense to stop the factory now...
