Nano came...tried to conquer Singur...and left as an 'orphan' seeking a refuge in Gujarat. Well thats old boring news. What makes me wonder is if the people outside Singur will ever know what really happened.
The powers to be have efficiently controlled any untoward information coming out from Singur in a mass scale and daily. Look at media reports both tv and print. Hardly any details of the violence that CPM cadres carried out, how many villagers died and why did Mamata suddenly restart her agitation after a pasive period of 3 or so months? No answers forthcoming. Most importantly was it farm land really that was given to the Tatas. Yes seems the case then for how much and the specifics...No answers yet again.
Lastly but not the least ... what happens to the farmers now? When and if at all will they get their land back? Even if they do get it won't be in a good condition as lot of construction work had been undertaken by Tatas.
I am confused and frankly I don't have a clue as to what the truth is? We have heard many views but they all seem some way politically inclined. Now as Tatas have moved out, so has the media and also Mamata Banerjee. So what will the farmers do now?
This is the condition of world's largest democracy. We are all kept happily mis informed and totally ill informed as well.
