KALE LOHE KA RANG LAL HAI (BLACK IRON COLOR RED) Part 4

Orissa is a resource rich province in India, but its people have been excluded from the development process completely.
On 2nd January 2006 14 tribals (Adivasi) were killed by landmines and shot dead by the Orissa police while holding a protest against forcible eviction from their lands by the government. The Orissa government wanted to give this land to TATA STEEL at a throw away price.
In Sukinda block, several hundred industries have come up and huge number of mines-but other than extreme poverty, forced evictions, pollution and environmental degradation, the vast majority of the people have got nothing-absolutely nothing.
The Jan 2006 firing sparked off a huge mass militant movement which has become a landmark of sorts for political movements in India- this model of resistance was the inspiration in Nandigram, Singur, Anti- POSCO-Erasama agitation. The people have simply refused to negotiate on terms of displacement-no displacement -no rehabilitation.

That is why Manmohan Singh went to Oxford and said "India gained a lot from colonial rule" shameless shameless shameless
