RE: [IAC#RG] E-Newspaper dt. 30.05.2014 (e01v01)

Dear Sir,
 
Yesterday while suggesting closure of AK, discussion, I was wondering what kind of disucssion is going on This forum. As the name suggests,it should be devoted to serious discussion on subjects where we really want to resist any policy initiave/programme of the Govt. affecting welfare of the people. It is good that you have taken the initiave to clean frivolous/unconnected discusions and it is welcome and overdue.
 
Regarding Arundhati Roy,s post it is too early to prejudge what the Govt. under Modi will do regarding forest wealth,the inhabitants and use of other natural resources on indiscriminate or sustainable basis.
Arundhati Roys could also mean to suggest that the Govt. will tackle Naxalite problem harshly and if in the process,there is bloodshed, the Govt. will not back out. In other words indirectly she is  backing the naxals and trying to put the Govt. ob bsck foot. Rights of forest dwellers to land  andlivelihood have got mised up with Armed Rbellion with extra-territoral links which may imperil the national security sooner than later. Ms Roy is not justified to raise this issue at this stage.
He views on J&K and other controversial issues are known- what is not known are her links.

'Big money' is backing Modi to end resistance, says Arundhati Roy

"Now, we have a democratically elected totalitarian government. Technically and legally, there is no party with enough seats to constitute an opposition", says Indian-author and activist Arundhati Roy in an interview to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper.

"What he [Modi] will be called upon to do is not to attack Muslims, it will be to sort out what is going on in the forests, to sweep out the resistance and hand over land to the mining and infrastructure corporations. He has been chosen as the man who does not blink in the face of bloodshed, not just Muslim bloodshed but any bloodshed."

This loony woman is still hung up on her anti-"Big Dams" and theft of forest lands agenda.
Have BJP CM's like Raman Singh and Chauhan been any less ruthless for big money than NAMO when it comes to displacing tribals, so why are these secularists only targeting Nareendrabhai ?

Dear Sant ji

It is indeed ironic that both you and also Ms. Arundhati Roy are speaking the same language when it comes to demanding accountability and evidence from each other.

For instance on 15.May.2014 Ms. Roy demanded that the police show their evidence / proof against one Prof G.Saibaba, alleged LWE, before arresting him.

Ms. Roy went on to say
Making a case for stronger institutions of democracy and more transparency if activism had to be effective, Roy said corruption was a symptom arising out of power pulls and unethical practices of those in power. "Development needs to be balanced to suit everybody. These elections are about which corporate will come to power. Even the business community is upset with the manner in which only a handful of Indian conglomerates are amassing wealth," she added.
