Is another village joining the Naxals?

I have a kind request to Dr. Manmohan Singh to wake up and take a look into the things going on in name of progress. If we do not take care, it wont be too long before another part of India gets the Naxal link.

IBNLive Story

In one part of the story, they show how police arrested the whole village and made them to go to Puri. In the mean time the company erected a compound wall in the area. Police version of the story: They sent the villagers to puri on a holiday. I didn't know that Indian Police had a clause of sending people on sacred journeys.
Even a 5 year old kid can make out what's going on. But it seems whole bureaucratic system has closed its eyes to this part of the country. Someone please wake up.

When will this killing of tribal villages stop?

Why do we lack in research?

This might be one of the reasons, why India lacks the research power.
Indian Express asked the human resource ministry, the reason why research proposal of a foreign scholar. You might not agree but topics like "Women’s struggle for empowerment" and "Prospects and problems of outsourcing for India’s economic growth" might have a sensitivity issue. These issues might even pose Strategic/Economic threat to the Republic of India.

Long live the bureaucracy. Long live the semi literate politicians.
