Shame on Bengal and its people for allowing such a thing to happen in their state. Its not the fault of politians or businessmen as they are doing what they always do. But it is the fault of average bengali who go on voting for such backward and narrow minded parties. I dont say other parties are much better but atleast when it comes to projectx of such national importance, they see the sense in the end. No I dont say that Tata would have paid adquate money to farmers and nor do I say that they were right in taking argicultural land for this project but they are businessman, they would go for maximum. The project was important and it was generating enough waves around the world, and hence it little sacrifices need to be made then be it, it is required. Would US stop if GE wants to build a mega factory in California, would China hold back if 5000 people are to be moved to build three gorges dam. No they wont because they belive in greater good. I am disappointed as an indian.

Ya...vent ur personal frustrations against Bengalis here...this is THE FORUM man. BTW...if GE wanted to build a plant in 17-mile drive in California, we would have a situation worse than Singur. I know u have heard abt California, but bringing that topic out irrelevantly in a forum to support ur personal vendetta is not justified.
