How it is in Singur
According to "The Statesman" (India).
People are being dragged from their houses, beaten up, abused, and those who want to protect them are being persecuted. And somewhere, in the midst of all this chaos, a lone child wails at the top of its voice… Nobody spares a thought for the children of Singur in this political and ideological mess.
In course of acquiring of land forcefully the police arrested nearly more than 60 people comprising women and even children on 2.12.2006. Among them, Jhuma Patra, daughter of Ashok Patra of village Ghaser Veri, Singur, 12-years-old and a student of Class V in Naraharipara Primary School and Soma Dhara daughter of Sanyasi Dhara of same village, a minor were also arrested. The children arrested were kept in police lock-up with other inmates and were released on the next day on furnishing personal bonds under the total violation of the procedure of Juvenile Justice Act.
A district primary school board official said the students in the five affected villages were unable to concentrate on their studies. The situation in Singur has created the psychological pressure on students, harming their studies. It'll soon be just 'corruption, corruption and corruption' and big salaries for the useless jobsworths who can pull strings, like it is now in the UK, as in the Victoria Climbier case.
More than 2,000 students go to 17 primary schools in the villages. Sontu Kolay studies in Class III of Bajemelia Uttar Primary School. His mother, Ms Sabitri Kolay, an active member of the Singur Krishi Jomi Raksha Committee (Agricultural Land Protection), believes her son fared badly in his examinations last month as there was no one to take care of his studies and they are too poor to afford private tutors. Another member, Ms Jharna Langal, of Bajemelia, said that despite being a meritorious student, her daughter, Hoimonti, failed in her half-yearly tests this year. Ms Protima Dey, of Bajemelia, cannot recall the last time her son, Subhadeep, went to school. The Integrated Children Development Scheme (ICDS) too has suffered. Only a few nursery students show up at the ICDS centres in the affected villages. Two girls, aged 11 and 13, have been put behind bars by local police authorities.
According to a Bengali human rights activist, every week there are reports of molestation, rape and murder from the local prison at Chandranagar.
IMO: These stinky small cars shouldn't be built anyway. More constructive and longterm profitable work can be done without brutality and hardship. But when USA and UK behave as badly, corruptly and shortsightedly as they do, who can be surprised that India is climbing onto the bandwagon to Hell on earth for us all? 'Collateral damage' (or overlooked state murders of the elderly as I see it) like the European human summer heat death tolls, are perhaps the worst so far, but we all will suffer.
