AHA!

I KNEW IT! If People's Republic of Columbia University has a website on it, the question to ask about all the protests is

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> QUI BONO???<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And out comes the answer: Those who gain from "organizing" the poor fishermen on the TN coast to agitate against anything that might actually improve their lives and bring them opportunity.

Here it is! <!--emo&:guitar--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guitar.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='guitar.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:guitar--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guitar.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='guitar.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:guitar--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guitar.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='guitar.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:guitar--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guitar.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='guitar.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In a similar case of environmental fraud, the Ministry cleared the
massive Sethusamudram Ship Canal along the Tamilnadu coastline,
disregarding appeals and protests from fisherfolk that this project
would destroy the spawning grounds and thus adversely affect the
livelihoods of about 10 lakhs fishing people on both the Indian and Sri
Lankan coasts.  Various research institutes questioned the very
scientific credibility of the Environment Impact Assessments produced
by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, and pointed
out that the assessment had not even considered the impact of a Tsunami,
should the canal funnel the waves into a more destructive impact than
what was tragically experienced last December.  Questions of financially
unviability of the project were simply brushed aside too. Environmental
Public Hearings became terrain to terrorise communities demanding more
information on the project, despite which the Ministry proceeded to
grant environmental clearance.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

JOIN THE PROTEST! SUPPORT THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION! PARROT WHAT THE COMMUNISTS SAY! :

The Commies and the LTTE have been wanting to cause trouble in this region and delay this project for decades. They finally got desperate enough in 2005/2006 because the project was actually moving ... and set up the trap for the u-no-hus to walk in and accelerate the protests and become the expendables in the agitation.

It is soooooo easy to get some people to join a bandwagon - just have to mention something vague about "Hindu tradition.... Ram ... Krishna....Hanuman... " and then sit back and tv <!--emo&:tv--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tv_feliz.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tv_feliz.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:roll--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ROTFL.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ROTFL.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:roll--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ROTFL.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ROTFL.gif' /><!--endemo-->
