In India SEZ (special economic zone) should be put back in black hole.
There are lot of population in each village. To make a SEZ you need at least 6-7 villages which is practically not a good idea since it has a population. If just flat rate is given, is not way to rehabilate people who loose them home/shelter and fertile land.
It is always better if very unpopulated and undeveloped area is undertaken (of course with proper rehabilitation of the existing people), then two things will be served at least. (1) undeveloped area would be developed. (2) people of the region will not become begger (or slave servant) forcefully by the state govt. In that case Govt. should always think of a place like Purulia (WB) or similar place.
Very true. I am from Budwan and travelled between Burdwan and Calcutta 1000s of times in life which pass thro Singur and neighboring areas (Kamarkundu rail Station in Chord line).
Singur is one of the most fertile area in whole of India.
But Buddha has forced those people out from their homes and gifted this precious land to Tatas.
Why can;t Tata build the same factory in Bankura, Purulia, Midnapore - where we have tons of unfertile land?

Dear friend there is a lot of surplus, uncultivable barren land. Which can for sure be utilized for SEZ but one needs planning for that. If a party blocks development in a state for 27 years and suddenly starts brainless and heartless industrialization, incidents like Nandigram-singur will happen. First of all LF has to shed double standards about economic policies, then they should make a conducive enviornment in state by educating and informing people about benefits of SEZ or industrialization. Forcible land grabbing is not acceptable.

I am not countering you. I am stating that SEZ are being formed elsewhere in India too. Look in Gujarat I know many farmers who got couple of crore rupees when GIDC (Gujarart Industrial Development corporation sites)were set in Zaghadia (Narmada Dist.). Due to Gangeatic planes WB has very fertile land and hence is good for farming, why cant govt create a special SEZ for agro-products and bio-tech farming? Why are they so keen to get Car companies there? SEZ policy has to be people friendly region to region. Being very poorly developed WB has large potential to grow but without planning and taking people in to confidence no development is possible.

Commonly it is wellknown that WB people are educated and knowledgable. I know communists have done horrible brainwashing for years but I guess people has to find solution for this problem.
Leftist historians rejected their life time achievements. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Nandigram_was_more_shocking_than_Jallianwala/articleshow/1774467.cms
