This is one of the reason why you dont see poverty in big chinese cities compared to in India. Where people from the villages move to cities to find a new job even if they have to spend nights on road side or on railway stations.
Another fact in china you dont have protest when someone disagrees with the gov policy... we started building Narma dam long before work on 3 gorges dam started.. but because of Narmada bachao andolan we still await it's complition.
When china set up SEZ they did get protest in form of singur.
Another very important difference between indian and chinese media is that.. in india the media tries to find a negative aspect in the best of things, in china media finds the best aspect in the worst things.

Yes do you want to take a Governemnt permision to move from Bangalore to Hyderabad as does in China.
Do you want to move 1.5 million people from their lands to build 3 gorges dam.What is your family is one amone them.do you want to live in government shelters as happening in China
SEZ is between builders and land owners,why Govt interfers by buying land cheaply and sell to developers at high price??????
India media is what EX KGB instructed,they don't but they still following.
why we have to compare India to China,Saudi Rabia,Iran,North Korea like countries than to USA,UK,FRANCE,AUSTRALIA,NEW ZELAND???????????

sickularindia please read the heading.. it is a continuation... i am trying to say that in india we dont hide out poor.. we dont clamp our media, we debate on our decision...
by the way.. personaly yes if i have to move 1000 people to benefit another 1 million if i was in power i would. i would look at the bigger picture nto the smaller, but in doing so i would try to make sure that 1000 people who are moved are not neglected and the compensation is not corrupted upon.

why you want to move 1000 people for paise,when you can collect extra money from 1 million people who gone benefit from the dam and give it to 1000 who should be millionaires by this.The development should benefit both the groups.

this is the problem with you.. it is not about paisa it is about improving the standard of living.. how many times have you lost electricity, because of which the country suffers including those not displaced. How many farmers commit suicide because the crops fail due to no water.
electricity can be used to improve living and country development, and water for the farmers to have good crops.
you cannot just put a magic wand and improve life of everyone equally overnight ... developement is a continuous process in steps.
