2 pictures that tell (or perhaps don't tell) the story of 'development' of india.

the first one is the picture of sensex crashing 20000 points and the second showing 2 pictures that tell (or perhaps don't tell) the story of 'development' of india.

the first one is the picture of sensex crashing 20000 points and the second showing tribals in london to protest against the displacement that will befall the thousands and thousands of their tribesmen.

sensex going 20000 is nothing wrong, but if that zoom is on top of polluting factories, environmental abuses, massive displacement via fake dams and unsustainable mining projects actively encouraged by officials and politicians in cohorts with businessmen to make a killing, then it is important we question the fact why sensex has zoomed 20000 whereas majority section of environment and marginalised people are being shoved down the toilet.

development indeed is stinking in india.
(the zooooomminnggg sensex.....
(the brutalised tribals of niyamgiri hills, orissa. 2 faces of india. one tiny section that is galloping on back of the other major section)
