The House of Tatas has earned the respect the command over 100 of years. From the day Jamshedji Tata challenged the British to set up the first Indian Steel Plant. Sure Tatas make money. In business you have to make money. But, fair money. Tatas can’t be accused of unfair business practice. Neither can you accuse them of not contributing to the social sectors. Numerous education institutions, hospitals and research organization are proofs.
The WB government acquired land for the Tata Plant. The WB government is responsible to the people, of Singur for a fair deal. Only thing that Tatas for that matter any business establishment would look for before setting up manufacturing are Infrastructure, Law & order and availability of suitable labour.
If the WB government has been unfair to the Land owners of Singur, she should take it up with the WB government and get a fair price for the people. WB, once the leader has been turned into a third rate state, in social and economic indicators. If Tatas leave today, no one will even touch WB even with a barge pole, and WB will be in the wildness for decades to come.
The Thinking Bhadralook should step in to resolve this political opportunism for the sake of Bengal’s future. We must recognise that this issue as it stands now is not just an issue of 400 acres and fair pricing anymore, but the future of generations of Bengalis.

No. I don't believe intellectuality means always going against the establishment. Rather to be rational in every aspect is intellect of human being.

It’s a shame! Just when the CPM after years of dogmatic politics was showing signs of pragmatism, Mamta happened. I hope the people of Bengal recognize the true nature of this issue and punish the politicians accordingly. The NRB ( non resident Bengalis ) like NRIs, do excellently in other parts of India. Just like with liberation, India has turned a new leaf, Today is Bengal’s Chance. We can not have a state, like Bengal, to turn cancerous. We need an economically strong Bengal, in India’s thrust with destiny…. Though I am not a Bengali, I sincerely hope that the Tata Nano project actualizes in WB and in Singur

Admitted. But the price of the land when it was acquired was 12lacs /acre in that area and Govt had offered the same. Now the " converted " land price is 50lacs/acre and increase is solely due to TATA's project. What can Govt do for this ? Barring some financial package, Govt can do very little for them, so far Law of the land is concerned.CM has said the same same thing to Mamta. But the headstrong lady has only one goal-to win election at any cost. So for her, we'll suffer. Here lies the tragedy.

What you are saying if true- then it is a relevation. 12lkh/acre is a fair deal by any standard. This only shows the real villains are not CPM-Tata butthe greedy farmers and Mamta Baneerji who is sacrificing Bengals future for petty vote bank politics.
