The crime that the police does in not
registering cases against rape victims and harassing/beating up protesters in
Delhi, it does in Lower Suktel Dam Project and several other areas by brutally
beating up the helpless farmers and other common people. What hurts is the
'urban middle class' which terms itself as educated and aware has no conscience
to be disturbed by this growing trend. Such incidences of 'development
terrorism' are easily ignored under the cover of ' crushing protests against
development projects'. Shame!
Can anyone ask why Sonia Gandhi or Rahul
Gandhi or any other big politician or industrialist be provided security cover
by the state/govt. (people's) money when they are capable enough to buy their
own security. If someone needs any security then they are the villagers, poor
farmers and others who are fighting against a brutally armed mighty police
force in many such areas.
Can we not debate this as 'development'?
Or, development to us necessarily means 'killing poor people for benefit of the
rich; and destroying ecology for greed of a few?'
