I am requesting you to stop your resistance against TATAs. Once the industry comes up, its you who shall benefit the most. have a look at the industrial township of Jamshedpur. How much its residents benefit due to the TATAs. Look at what all facilities the TATAs provide to common people and then you will realize that Mamta Banerjee is fooling you all.
If you want any improvement in your standard of living, pls support this industrialization.

Dear Ashish,
The farmers who don't have anything to eat,no water to drink, no roof above their heads, bareky anything to wear and NO ELECTRICITY for days have read your post on rediff and would like to thank you for understanding their predicament and offering this brilliant solution.All they have is their patch of land and now the govt wants to give it to Tata's. And if you have ever worked with any govt. official , you would know how much compensation they would receive for it and GOD KNOWS WHEN IT WILL COME and ultimately after passing thru 20 sarkari officers whose palms have to be greased - HOW MUCH OF THAT MEASELY AMOUNT WILL REACH THEM.
No one is against industrialisation - if the land has to be developed by Tat's - taken barren land elsewhere and develop it.....why homestead land ? And secondly, if a single farmer doesn't want to sell his land, so be it. NO govt. should have the right to displace them against their will.
Think about it - why are the poor and deprived always displaced in the name of national progress. If you remember in Bombay - a very crowded area needed to have a flyover - would have been a welcome thing - ask any bombaikar. But it was stopped becoz Lata mangeshkar and other rich guys of the area protested their privacy would go.
Here, the question is of the poor farmers livelihood, not even of privacy. So please get a grip on the situation before giving the above comments.

Yes, the land in Singur is fertile, if NOT the MOST FERTILE LAND IN INDIA. I know because I am from nearby place.
You should ask, why no other state Govt is acquiring fertile farm land from farmers and giving it to industrialists.
Every where Industrialists are buying land from people directly. CPIM/TATA should do that in Singur as well.
Just yesterday, Ambanis bough many 1000 acers of land in Haryana BY DIRECTLY PURCHASING FROM FARMERS.
Most importantly, CPIM is forcefully acquiring land from poor farmers by illegal means.
The basic law based on which land is being acquisitioned is ILLEGAL as opined by Supreme COurt in Dec 2006.
Just watch the trouble Buddha faces in next few months.

I do agree with Mr Assish and the political parties should try arrange right compensation to farmers and not to oppose the industrialisation

Dear Mr Asish
While doing factory at Jamshedpur,how much of fertile and cultivable land was used?Secondly during the making of Jamshedpur,none needed to do any "Secre Trade" with this Tata Group.No Industry and Commerce minister had to give false statements against the Tata competitors.
Talking about benifits,well,what ever secret trade was done with the tatas,if a portion comes down the chain,yes,people like you may be benifited but apart from Mamata Bannerjee,person like Medha Patekar,Anuradha talwar,Mahasweta Devi would rather prefer to die instead of being a part of this secret trade.
