Whats Next?

Like the showman's show, this drama goes on...

Eleven months since the first turmoil broke out in Nadigram, Purba Medinipore District in the state of West Bengal, India, the pinnacle of the drama continues till date. Diwali and post Diwali, there was fire works in Nandigram.. the difference between the fire work was that it just didnt bring smile in the faces of the common... but tears in the eyes of the unknown struggler, whose name has just worn off in the days of eroding struggle. No doubt the Right of Property was transformed into a Stautory Right in the 44th Amendment of the Indian Constituition in 1977.


it states: "...the 44th amendment eliminated the right to hold, acquire and dispose of property..." Even if the property is to be safe guarded by the Law and order, as the article points out, the individual do enjoy the property as long as he or she wishes to. If thats not the law, then thats common sense.




Nandigram boiled since Haldia Development Corporation issued a summon of acquiring land for the Chemical Industry in near future. Fueled by the then going Singur Andolan, Mamata Banerjee took on the red clay roads of Nandigram, to shake the government. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, the Hon Chief Minister had acknowledged the mistake made, and assured that no land will be taken. But the TMC made Bhoomi Uchyed Rakha Committee kept the fire on. First it was in March when a nos of people went down due to police firing, then in September and more recently the CPI(M) goons fired at a strong peace rally, killing many people. Non-Co-operation movement and Bangla Bandhs may be a type of protest... but what is going on there, is really inhuman and undesired.

In their 30+ years on the throne, the West Bengal democracy has transformed into an able Dictatorship. This is not Lenin or Mao marches...its a goon and antisocial march. Whats the alternative for the governing party? Nothing, coz the opposition are really bad. But to succumb to the present scenario, its rightfully important that the situation must be overcome as soon as possible. If for that Military rule of President rule gets implemented, then let it be so!

There seems to be a planned machinery in the State of West Bengal. How dare we draw comparisons that we are better off than the Godhra Kand in Gujarat some couple of years ago? How can we say that we are better off in peace than the people in Bihar? The Bengali politics have gone down the gutters. Today, 14th November 2007, marked a new mode of protest when a lakh strong army of unarmed men and women, children and Indian Homo sapiens came onto the roads of Kolkata, in a silent rally to protest against the atrocities of the Government of West Bengal. This is the new light..a new beginning...may be..its no more confinedin the celluloids of the Silver Screen like the movies of the category of Phir Bhi Dil Hain Hindusthani, a Shahrukh Khan hit and the Anil Kapoor Hit in the form of Nayak. May be the humane Indians are back..hand in hand...

Bengal had been the root of Indian Rennaissance, may be its a new Rennaissance, the twenty first century one..lets welcome it all!!!

    Awesome comment...I can feel the pain too..but I dont think military rule will be a better idea..had it been so,,bihar or bangladesh or pakistan would have developped better....how cud u forget pathetic condition of Manipur military rule..[manoroma issue]...how cud u forget issues of Kashmir where military and militancy are similar...so to do really good thing for west bengal...we should start an indepent student organisation,,,but not IC presi (apolitical org cant do ne good except protest,,,).
