India :
If you want to kill the proverbial golden goose, and if you want to do it well, then you can take special lessons from Ms. Mamta Banerjee. You think I am being too harsh? Certainly not! According to recent reports, Tata Motors has already started moving equipment from its Singur factory in West Bengal. And, anybody who is following up the Singur factory fiasco will realize who is behind this colossal debacle.
Even though the company has officially not said so in as many words it is obvious that they are making a quiet exit from the state. Until and unless something really dramatic happens, looks like it is certainly ta-ta to West Bengal from the Tatas.
Ms. Banerjee and her hangers-on are surely a bunch of happy people today. They have managed to push the state further back into oblivion. With the Tatas moving out, new factories or tech companies will think a thousand times over before they think of setting shop in West Bengal.
West Bengal’s loss is hopefully going to be Karnataka’s gain, as the local government seems to have laid the red-carpet out to woo the Tatas, so that they can set up the iconic-1-lakh-car-plant in Dharwad. I am happy that the plant may be set up in Karnataka, but I am sad that they could not do so in West Bengal. Why? Because West Bengal will always stay dear to my heart as it is my janam-bhoomi (place of birth), while Karnataka is my karambhoomi (place of work)..this is like trying to make a choice between two siblings.

For many years to come people will remember Ms. Mamta Banerjee, but obviously this will be for all the wrong reasons

I have gone thru ur writing...nd i will like to tell you TATA will not move from WB. The 1st Nano will not come out from Singur bt later on the manufacturing will be done from here only. I will also like to tell you that Tata’s hav already spent 1500 crores in this project and they hav given 20 and 11 crores to NDTV and Star Ananda to raise their voice against the aggitating farmers...so that Singur prob sort out quickly. This itself proves that Tata’s are going to saty in WB only.

@Tanmoy, amen ...I hope it stays in West Bengal. If only wishes were horses!
(Local Perspectives)
Really Tanmoy, How gullible are you? How could you and so many other followers of Mamta Banerjee be so ridiculous? This loss of face and negative publicity will surely take West Bengal to the Stone Ages. You killed the goose that was laying golden eggs!! You have only made it easier for the Maoists to take the centre stage. You have made yourselves the laughing stock of India and for that matter, the world!! How short sighted is your reasoning!!

Tata has given a tight slap on the face of maveric Mamata Bannerjee.

Nishi,the contractors has been told to move their machineries.The plant ultimately may shift to Haryana.

What Ms. Mamta Banarje had done, it will give lesson to other big corporate house before going to Bengal. Its not her win, but loss of Bengal.
(Local Perspectives)
@Bhupender, absolutely I agree with you, by wining actually the people of West Bengal have lost.
(Local Perspectives)
Nishi, I fully respect your sentiments and your attachment to your janam bhoomi and your karam bhoomi and your concern for both the states.
Mamata and her supporters can squat at Singur for the rest of there lives! Nobody would disturb them. She has done in one month what the red brigade took three years to do three decades ago. It is an irony for West Bengal that when one party recognises its past msitakes and make amends for it, the other party sabotages the effort and ensures perpetuation of the mistake.

And unfortunately it is the common man who suffers, the politicians just keep filling their coffers.

TATA is not doing any charity. They are going business not only in India but all over the world. So let them get their own land. Whereas the State Govt was feeding the Tatas. Why? The state Govt should feed the entrepreneurs..

Kudos Nishi for the well written article. I think Bengalis all over India, rather the world, will be echoing your sentiments.

I find it both pathetic and laughable to see the eagerness of a hungry famine hit person on sight of a bowl full of rice,among these people who have written their reactions and the article.Poor members of ’Susheel samaaj’..indian middle class sentiments.I know them very well.But they have probably forgotten that the rice might be poisoned.
You people are soo pathetic that you forgot that the land which was aquired for the factory was in reality grabbed with a force without even letting the famers know whas goin to happen.We have seen that brutal aquisition.Yet you ppl are soo thick skin that you forgot that deliberate violence of human rights.Well,thats very expected from you guys coz you dont know the value of land to a farmers.You guys are engneers,draftsmen and intrepreneures brimming with confidence,and hope get a JOB or profit(out of anything)..But know for sure for a farmer getting uprooted from his social position just one fine day and being a worker in a factory is not easy.Society does not work that way,my fellow writers!A farmer in a rural india is socially in a superior position than a bonded labour.if you dont know the difference study the industrialisation of Europe.It was a long process by which a farmer became a worker in a facory thru industrialisation.It cannot happen in one day or month or even a year by some adhocist discision of a shameless government.Who are they to talk about industrialisation?? Within this huge span of 30 years they have done nothing to the farming infrastructure of bengal.Now when it all have started to collapse they are saying that the want to build factories.As if suddenly a child has been awakened.But the child is unlawful and nasty..so he needs to be rebuked.
Where were your all sympathies when this government killed thousands of people in the genocide of Marichjhapi,in Nandigram?? I should say this government is a criminal.but it doesnt matter to you coz all u need is a JOB.Even in the cost of some dirty rural people!Who cares! As long as we are getting Nano,as long as we getting shopping malls(even though we dont have money to buy those stupendously expensive objects)..we are well enough to keep our eyes wide shut! Heil Buddha!
(warning: and plzz plzz dont lebel me as a Trinamool sympathiser,as u always do.Another middle class atittude.The Truth is always the truth.)

It is al very well for an armchair socialist living in Canada to whip up such sentiment from a cosy warm room and a computer to boot. I live in Gandhinagar and I see the benefits to the farmers in Gujarat. With the improved irrigation as a result of the Narbada dam, areas that were wasteland are now green and rotating crops are planted. The land offered to industrialists is not farmland but land that is wasteland. That is the mistake made in Singoor. I know for a fact that this is what is happening in Gujarat.
(Local Perspectives)
The policy followed in Singoor was amateurish, and the amazing thing is that the policy was followed by a communist party. The ultimate result was definitely not a ’win - win but a lose - lose ’ result.
Anyway, I Gujarat has benefited greatly. The farmers too are very happy as are the others. The farmers relocate with the additional income to area to continiue tilling the land. The others - ’win-win ’
