Everyone wants a good job with a fat salary to make their living. If the SEZ is going to give it to us, then there shouldn't be any opposition in giving up the land to put up industries over there.
Actually people who are opposing the acquisition of their land are not doing it in the interest of having to continue agriculture on it. But the main concern for them is they seems to be not getting the right value(as per the current market value) from the government.
SO, good way to deal with this is government providing the deserved value to this land to the land-owners to move forward and setup SEZ.
We have heard of mafia land grabbers from the poor..but now the Govt itself is grabbing the land and throwaway prices to hold a feast to the rich industrialists.Yes, if all the agrl/cultivable land is given to establish factories where do we go for food to the growing population? There have been several suicides in AP where the lands were garbbed in the name of SEZs.The day is not far off when India may have to import food from all rich countires as we had done during early days in post independence period..under PL480..that is what the Govts intention seems to be! There should be a national movement against this SEZ farce..to help the poor farmers.

Love for providing food for you and me and these farmers loosing their land for a miniscule rate are two different things.
Provide that right value to their land and I don't see there will be any opposition from any owner for giving away their land.

the case in mangalore is pretty much straight forward. the area which the KIADB declared many years back as barren is in fact very very green. there's plenty of water, and the its as green as it can get. perfect arable land, and fantastic for agriculture. the reason why the rich industrialists want the area is because there's plenty of water, and the land belongs to poor farmers who can be paid a pittance. SEZs are a bad model anyways. they contribute very little by the way of taxes - the industries have tax holidays, they offer very little jobs to locals except by the way of indirect employment. the industries that come up are mostly export oriented and demand highly skilled labour.
mr. patrao should be given the justice he's asking for. we've already seen the result of land mafia's excesses resulting the fatal plane crash in mangalore. we are not china ro steamroll on the people.

I think there is a confusion in understanding the Farmers sentiments over here on loosing their land.
Don't think that any of them is interested in continuing the agriculture and providing you the food you need to keep yourself alive. They are basically agitating against getting a very miniscule value to their land.
Provide them that value and you will see everything will be in place very next moment.

more inflation. the rich industrialists are lazy - they want everything on the platter. they will work hard to beat the locals, but they will not work hard on converting barren land into workable places for their industries
farmers' land acquisition is essential for growth of politicians. One man's gain is another's loss. If he is not ready to give up, beat him up and force him to commit suicide. You will find lot of selfish people supporting this approach. My growth at the cost other people. Mera bharat mahan!!!

its the same everywhere. look at chian - the epitome of squashing people's aspirations! its the same in USA too.
Land allocation and acquisition is just politics. Government should have proper law for SEZ. Leaders should not do polytics on new projects and farmers. __ 300000 plus new jobs opening on Reliance Power dott Com
Can u imagine if farmers in maharashtra had refuse to give land for growth. today whole state is rich. similarly all state have to make some sacrifice. i know it hurt if you loose your house. but you do get some compensation. we have to bite the bullet if want to grow. Only privatisation and globalisation wave can create jobs in india. otherwise keep dreaming few hundred lezy govt employee are gonna creat job and school and hospital for you. u can live in fantasy for 100 more years.

yeah, but the businessmen never care about common people. we often direct our ire towards the government. I think we should direct the rage a bit towards the businessmen too - who will bribe the politicians of ANY party to get things done. the culprits are not only the politicos, its the businessmen, and people who do not protest against atrocities.

its not that simple. there's land everywhere - its just that the industrialists want the land at throwaway prices. if you follow economics closely. SEZs are the chinese's favorite - they have perfected it. SEZs suck from the local area, and give very little in return to the local area. and this area is a fertile land. people from across the board have supported patrao and others.
There are 17,000 castes aka cults ( to./4msn ) in India. And they hate each other whether we acknowledge it or not. They're cults because since 1947 only 1% of marriages in India are inter-caste.
We can lobby members of parliament to carve out out an independent nation similar to Gibraltar ( to./4yeh ) for our 10 million community. And we will be 75th largest nation by population.
I'll pay $8.5 million to members of parliament if they approve a private bill to carve out an independent nation from India for our community.

No farmers oppose giving land, people gave land happily during construction of konkan railway, as they were compensated well, now these politicians spend millons for adv./lavishes why not pay the poor for his land.
Congress grabbed farmers lands, given to SEZ's and made farmers to suicide. for instance in Andhra Pradesh Samuel Raj Sekar Reddy & Sonia,Rosaiah used to share money on account of land grabbing earning. AP CM every day issue a GO to party worker, party worker show the GO to farmers, scare them, the govt take no money will be given or delayed payments, that too small value, than give some money grab the land. after grabbing land GO not in existance. like that many sitting ministers in AP amassed lands and sold them at a very high rate. SEZ's acquisitioned lands are only to pick pocket the poor farmers. congress fellows are more corrupted buggers. they should be hanged, or to served big punishment like china type. even DMK,BSP, SP, RJD.LSP, all parties are basically decoit gangs.
