I Rebel!

You just cannot take away people’s lands like that just to build people’s cars…because these people who lose their lands will never be able to buy tata sumo vehicles, no matter how cheap they are in the car market…

Communism is not about dictatorship…Those who think so and act and deliver speeches accordingly, will soon be pregnant with an empty stomach, when all the land will be sold to whosoever…They will probably be happy even at their deathbed when they will have to import cereals and animal stock from developed countries…or better still, consume all that is coming from the leftover crops, and leave all the rural people to starve not at their own will…There is nothing as shameful and unfortunate as possessing a conscience that never pricks…

Perhaps, their conscience has no right to prick cos they are so cultured, refined, well-versed-in-the-language-of-Gabriel-Garcia-Marquez, and unparalleled in their “intellect”…

Hitler is much better than the Janus-faced Stalin…Perhaps it’s time we start saying CPS and not CPM!!!

Well, well…who am I to state such things…am not even Indian…Ami Karl Marx er baba re… tai bolchhi… Who, then, the hell was Marx to talk about Russia???

"Let me ask you one question
Is ur money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find,
when ur death takes its toll,
All the money that you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And I hope it comes soon
I will follow your casket
On the pale afternoon
Then I'll watch while you're lowered
Into your deathbed
And I'll stand ov'r ur grave
Till I'm sure that you're dead!"

Bob Dylan in "Masters of War"

There’s no point having arguments with those who believe in dictatorship…it’s even pointless to try and prove them wrong…that would be the same as proving over and over again Newton’s Thrid Law to someone who hates science…

Oops, we are not even supposed to compare while debating!!! Baper shompotti naki re debate??? Even the rule of debating is set by dictatorship??? The world is weighed on the basis of comparison…Even the blind and stubborn banda who believes in dictatorship, what does he mean by it??? He means he doesn’t believe in democracy…even that, what the hell, is a comparison…everything we feel, think, measure, conclude is based upon some kind of comparison…I feel like I am spoon-feeding, such a drag it is…

Democracy mutilated and misused is simply a demo of how crazy people in power can become…

When someone agrees on dictatorship, it’s entirely WRONG and UNNECESSARY for him to “justify” why it’s right to grab the lands of the people of Singur… And what audacity to claim that he “KNOWS” everything…The more I see, I feel so sorry…and so happy for myself, that I still possess a mind that’s not selfish and is ruled by logic, reason and humanity…I may not have been able to finish reading “Love in the time of Cholera”, and I haven’t read much about communism either…am almost a moron…but I am proud to be a “human” first, if nothing else…

What would he, this all-knowing person, do if a few miscreants beat him up for no reason until he was almost breathless and what if they took away his house from him, without giving him any official assurance that he would be given APPROPRIATE and SUFFICIENT COMPENSATION? Would he not resist? Would he not fight back or at least try to raise some moral questions in their minds? He may sleep happily now arguing that the people of Singur would be rehabilitated…Fucking hell, NOBODY WANTS TO SWEEP OR STAND GUARD INSTEAD OF REAPING THE REWARDS OF HIS OWN LAND!!! One can’t just build paradise on others’ graveyards…

Why? I wouldn’t give away my land even if I got compensation for a lifetime… It’s MY LAND, or MY HOUSE, if I am the owner, and nobody dares trespass!!! If a government exists, that can and will grab my land or my house without my will, such a government is nothing but a pirate…and a parasite…

And we all know how one should get rid of parasites…and we all know what should be done to those who patronize such parasites and become obligate parasites themselves…

The allegation assumes that prime fertile agricultural land is being forcibly acquired from peasants virtually depriving them any alternate livelihood. Let us examine these issues dispassionately.

First, the land that has been acquired is not for any special economic zone but is part of the natural process of development and industrialisation which requires land. There are two ways in which land required for such industrialisation can be acquired. One, is to mercilessly displace people dependent on the land and impose a process of pauperisation on them. This is the classic inhuman process of primitive accumulation under capitalism. The other, is to provide adequate compensation for those whose land is being acquired for such purposes and ensuring a future livelihood by providing alternatives for the same. This is the option that the Left Front government of West Bengal has chosen.

Further, for such a process of industrialisation to proceed, it would be ideal to acquire non-agricultural land. In West Bengal, however, unlike in large tracts of our country, say like in Rajasthan or Gujarat, non-agricultural land is scarce to come by. Under these circumstances, the next best option is to acquire mono crop land rather than fertile multi-crop land. Requirements of contiguity, however, may require the acquisition of some fertile land, but this must be kept at the minimum and acquired only when it becomes inevitable.

From this perspective, what is the ground reality at Singur? The total land acquired is 997.11 acres. Of this, over 950 acres has the voluntary consent of the owners who have already collected their compensation (This we shall discuss later). Of the remaining land, such consent in many cases was not available as the land owners do not, normally, reside in that area. Of this land that has been acquired, over 90 per cent is mono crop land. Less than 10 per cent of this land belongs to the more than one crop category.

The compensation package worked out by the Left Front government after elaborate consultations with the local population is the following: Rs. 8.40 lakh per acre for mono crop land and around Rs. 12 lakh per acre for double crop land. This is well over one and a half times the prevailing market prices. The total amount of money to be disbursed for acquiring this land is declared at Rs. 130 crores. This is larger than the above rates as it includes compensation package for non land owners as well. A total of around 12,000 land owners and sharecroppers are entitled to receive compensation. Of these, 9,020 have collected their compensation till December 4, 2006. The claim that their livelihood is being destroyed is belied by the fact that 12,000 people are receiving compensation for less than 1000 acres. This means that a very large section of titleholders are actually earning their bread outside the agriculture and only a small section of titleholders is actually dependent on agriculture for their livelihood.

Compensation also covers the sharecroppers who are recorded in West Bengal. The number of recorded sharecroppers in this area is 237. According to the local informal reports, the number of unrecorded sharecroppers are around 170. All sharecroppers will be paid compensation equal to 25 per cent of what the land owner receives, i.e., for a mono crop land, each will receive more than Rs 2 lakhs while for the double crop land, they will receive Rs 3 lakhs per head.

Since some people may have been dependent for their livelihood working as agricultural labour on these lands and would be deprived of this in the future, all those who have enlisted themselves as agricultural labour in this area are being employed as daily wage workers immediately. Up to December 5th, 7500 such man days have been created where these people are employed. This employment has been created by extensive community development projects that have been undertaken by the state government.

The responsibility of the government does not end with such a comprehensive compensation package. The Left Front government has started a programme of providing skills and training in different trades to those who wish to seek employment in the upcoming motor factory. 1815 have enlisted for training of whom 1372 used to cultivate their land and 443 were landless agricultural labour. A total of 180 people are imparting training for various professions such as machining, electrician, welder, fitter etc. in a newly-established institute.

In addition, 40 women are being trained in a regular sewing school opened recently in collaboration with sewing machine maker Singer. 40 more women will begin training for a course at the Institute of Catering and Management, Kolkata from December 12. They would be transported to Kolkata and brought back to their places everyday by special buses. The cost of training per head in all these skills is estimated to be Rs 7,500 per month. While the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation will bear the entire expenditure for such training, it shall also pay Rs 500 per month to each trainee as a stipend. If, in case, some do not find employment even after training, the state government will provide loans for self-employment projects.

Because of such a comprehensive compensation package, few joined the so-called popular agitation by the anti-Communist political combine at Singur. The overwhelming number of people that came to Singur do not belong to this area. As is the typical style of politics practiced by the Trinamool Congress, people are brought from outside armed with bombs and lethal weapons to create, as we noted earlier, violence and mayhem. On this occasion, they were ably assisted by ultra-Left groups whose primary target was to attack the police. Wild stories such as police firing, killing scores of innocent people were spread. The truth of the matter is that there was no firing ever. Three rubber bullets were fired in the air to disperse the crowds who were forcibly stopping the local land owners from collecting their compensation cheques.

Those who hurl baseless charges of CPI(M)’s so-called double standards in opposing forcible acquisitions for the special economic zones while implementing the same in West Bengal must realise the crucial difference, viz., while acquisitions elsewhere are being undertaken in the manner that we discussed above, i.e., by mercilessly pushing the people into pauperisation, in West Bengal, on the contrary, the other way is being followed where not only adequate compensation but also capabilities for an alternative livelihood are being undertaken by the government. For instance, in states like Maharashtra, where the State Industrial Development Corporation acquired land in Mumbai neighbourhood district, Raigad in the 80s, it paid the land owners according to their own reports, a paltry sum of Rs 30,000 per acre. There was no responsibility of the state government or any of its agencies to provide any alternative employment or give them capabilities and skills for an alternative livelihood. The Maharashtra state government is now proceeding to acquire another 28,000 acres on such terms for a Maha Mumbai special economic zone being promoted by Reliance group. Under these circumstances, the CPI(M) will surely mobilise the deprived peasantry in defence of their lands demanding reasonable and adequate compensation for those who give voluntary consent as well as the commitment and responsibility of the government for providing alternative avenues of employment.

The struggle to ensure that a comprehensive package like what is being implemented by the CPI(M) and the Left Front in West Bengal is a struggle that would be intensified by the CPI(M) in the days to come.

Could you please translate all of that into english? Reading bengali written using the Roman Script is not only irritating and annoying but also a strain on my concentration. And if i can't read all of it i can't make my case irrefutable. It's a humble request.
Thanking you,

But .. a point I make is that ,
Development is for the people.If people want it , who the hell is that fasting lady to prevent it ?

Come next elections , if the people do not like what has been done in singur , the common people will overturn this goverment.

u r missing the point here...the fasting lady is not the subject here...it's the people of Singur that are endangered...what u r calling "development" may not be what is actually happening there...and u must know the law which clearly says that u cannot use agricultural land for privatisation/industrialisation...

there must be some reason y singur has been chosen. and not some barren land .

But whats the point you seem to be to confused about ur ideologies.Think over it .

And all the protests seem to have gone off now .So stop your bull shit and get back to normal life.

u seem to understand the requirements of industry so well, but can't understand the requirements of human beings! interesting...have u studied B.Com. or BBA??? You will definitely be rich, whoever u are...
And for your unkind information, I am not at all confused about my ideologies...if the protests have stopped by now, then why were students from JU locked up in jail just a few days back??? Don't worry, there's more to come...I am not a worker of TMC...i will protest about anything i find unethical and inhhuman as long as I want...u may wish to stop reading my posts if u like...
