mr.p.v.indiresan writes frequently in the respected hindu newspaper. one such article was about PURA, a concept of chattisgarh govt.
the link is http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/11/13/stories/2006111300290800.htm
but i am surprised to see that the author has forgotten (conviently!!) about the salwa judum movement being fostered by the same chattisgarh govt. the oct 31st dte captures the shocking facts at http://www.downtoearth.org.in/section.asp?sec_id=9&foldername=20061115
chattisgarh is like 45% forested, but the govt in alliance with ruthless industries does not see the fact that forests are crucial for people survival and is hell bent on clearing the forests for its own use for mining.
i wish hindu also looks at this angle from a business perspective and see whether uprooting people violently makes sense for any businessman
