Dear Friends,
First and foremost, let me thank you all for your comments and feedback that were extremely insightful. One take away of all these comments is that this Blog has to play an active role to make people realize that we as a nation progress together and Bengal is not left behind.
People are sick and tired of the vote bank politicians and the new breed of activists who disrupt life at the drop of a hat. Nobody denies the need of activism, but activism for personal motives will not be tolerated.
Activists have made a profession of creating problems for reasons know only to them and shouting at the top of their voice trying to create a mass hysteria. I ask – Are you giving us a solution and if not and is if that’s beyond you, then don’t howl at the top of your voice. Who are you to fight a battle in people’s name where you are eying the victory just for you?
So my friends, please write in, share your thoughts and feed back as without these we would not be able to counter situations like Singur, which have been totally created by band of mercenaries. (Paid!! aren’t they?) This group is the weed, which will eat into the ripening crop of development, if not checked in time and then we would be left with empty desolate fields at the time of harvest.

I came across your article while surfing the net for the latest on the Singur issue.
I am not the kind who would voice my opinion until asked for. But reading your article and the comments posted by others has made me happy that there are many people who share my thoughts ... That India still DOES have a chance.
The path to growth, and to move ahead in an economy is a mix of industrial as well as agricultural development. Look at US / Europe ... they have the best of both worlds. Why can we not make India like that? After all, we do have the best of everything ... The best minds, cheap labour, best skillsets, untapped resources... everything that makes these MNCs rush to our country ...
We as a nation, should stop 'politicising' matters all the time. In a scenario where a company wants to set up a manufacturing unit and is ready to relocate, rehabilitate and impart skill knowledge to the people to be affected ... what role do politicians have? This tag of 'crusader for the oppressed and deprived' that they carry along is no more than another below the belt attempt by the opposition to shake up the government. And as always, the poor and the ill-informed person is caught in the cross-fire.
I am glad you have thaken this initiative to write about SIngur and West Bengal, but I think one must also mention places like Orissa and Chhattisgarh here ... which are plauged / blinded by bureaucrats' twisted political agenda!
Free India ... Let her grow ... and every member of her lands WILL GROW WITH HER ...
