Nandigram Violence

Nandigram Violence

A study by two economists from the US Federal Reserve (A Tale of Two States: Maharashtra and West Bengal by Amartya Lahiri and Kei-Mu Yi) shows how the two states, among the richest in the country in 1960, have diverged dramatically. Bengal, which had a per capita income of 105 per cent of Maharashtra’s in 1960, has managed to bring it down to a mere 69 per cent of Maharashtra’s by 1995! The authors conclude that this is directly correlated with Communist control of Bengal. This scenario should change. Whatever is going on today in west Bengal is not good for common man and such a shame for India.

Wednesday, March 14, 2007 .once again violence erupted in Nandigram and at least 14 people have died and 30 injured in clashes between police and protesters.
The trouble started when a large police force tried to break the Nandigram blockade. However, they were confronted by a 5000-strong mob which began hurling bricks on them.
The police resorted with teargas and a mild lathicharge and then rubber bullets. But when the villagers started shooting with pipe guns, the police opened fire.

Till the date still the same this is going on.Nothing has change.

March month is the  exam month  but it has postponed to April.

But most important thing is a large percentage of Nandigram’s population is Muslim, its role was not unexpected. It has also to be clarified that the Jamiat was not involved in Wednesday’s disturbances, which were the handiwork of a virtually unknown outfit, the All India Muslim Front, but the Jamiat has nevertheless voiced its opposition to Taslima Nasreen’s continued stay in India.

There wasn’t much advance thinking before the chief minister and his party, decided to neutralise the police and send in the party’s armed cadres to wrest Nandigram from the Opposition’s control. To control the situation, the West Bengal government had to call in the army and impose curfew in several Muslim-majority areas in the city.

While there has been countrywide condemnation of arson and rape by the attackers in Nandigram, this new evidence of the anger of the Muslims is a worrisome signal.

As it is, the involvement of Naxalites means the presence of shadowy underground organisations, which thrive in anarchic conditions. They will have little hesitation in teaming up with Muslim fundamentalists to foment communal trouble - something that mainstream parties like the Trinamool Congress will not like to do.

CPI-M is also mixing up the Taslima Nasreen affair with Nandigram. This was the first time that the ‘attack’ by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) on opposition strongholds in Nandigram was mixed up with the stay of the controversial Bangladeshi writer in India. Because Communist are secular and minority-friendly leftist government of West Bengal. Judiciary and the National Human Rights Commission also criticised the the aggressive tactics of CPI-M.What this means is that in the event of an election, the Left Front cannot be as sure of its success as before, especially if sizable sections of Muslims are persuaded by their leaders to refrain from voting. For the first time since 1977, the Communists may be in danger of losing West Bengal. Current condition showing is that President rule should be imposed in West Bengal.Centre should sack this Communist government. Nandigram carnage initiated by Buddhadeb and CPM only. Buddhdeb and CPM actively initiated the mass murder misusing state law (police force).

There is a total collapse of law& order in Nandigram, now Dr.Man Mohan made a Deal that he will say nothing about Nandigram and in return CPI (M) would allow him to sign the Indo-US Deal.
