The Great Indian Melodrama - Victims - Tatas in Singur and Bachchans in Maharastra


Background:
1. In Maharastra attacks on the comments of Jaya bachchan that she will speak in hindi in Maha
2. Ratan tata is not allowed to start work in Tata nano project site
3. Some time back, Aamir khan movie was not allowed to shown in Gujarat by VHP workers

It couldn't get any any more insolence than this one.

Tata Motors had not allowed to start work in Singur, W. Bengal by Mamta Benerjee brand workers. This project has been considered face lifting for Indian automobile industry and many industry experts are considering this project with Ford-T model of Ford which is one of the product considered of 20th century.

There is protests from Raj Thackeray and his worker on Jaya bachchan's comments that they are from UP and she would prefer to speak in Hindi which is national language of this country. Amitabh became restless and both Amitabh and Jaya apologized for the remark made (Ordinary man will not found anything wrong in this remark). Even after this Raj thackeray and his party is not stopping and doing violent protest at the premier of Amitabh Bachchan's movie The Last Lear, notingly this movie premier has been cancelled in Mumbai and it will be releasing in rest of the country.

Some time back Aamir Khan has commented on poor condition of displaced in Narmada Dam case. For that his epic movie 'Rang De Basanti' has to be withdrawn from theaters after treats from VHP and BJP workers. And its Yash Raj Production movie starring Aamir was not allowed to shown in Gujarat.

All these incidents happened in diverse part of India - W. Bengal, Maharastra and Gujarat. And at all these places different political parties are ruling. CPM, Contress and BJP, top three political parties of India !!

I had like to ponder on situation that all these happens due to regional centric thinking to get political mileage. Now, I am attaching these situation with pre-1992 situation where there were all kind of restrictions on the name of national interest. No one had a belief that even Indian companies can beat survive in global competition. Reason I very simple that, Ratan tata or Amir Khan or Amitabh Bachchan who thinks that they are the best and come what the competition whey will come triumph, are/were not ruling India. Indian legislator are moderate literate who came into power by hook or crooks.

But I agree that Political parties are not at fault for all these. There is a stark difference between whom they are working - Politician are working for 70% persons who are poor to get vote and 2% people who are very rich who will fund them. Whereas Industrialist are working for profitability and innovation. Therefore they both have to come at forefront and eye 2 eye.

I think these much is enough at this moment and let we progress towards our destiny.
