A lesson from TatasBy: (Dr.) B.N. Anand | Monday , 6 Oct '08 12:53:24 PM Reply | Forward Sir It seems that none of the parties involved in the dispute at Singur for Taya'a Nano never reealised that Tatas can take such a drastic and courageous step in moving the Nano project out of Bengal for relocation at some other state in the country. At least these corporate executives and some of the well known industrial houses always plan with a vision for the future. That is in contrast with planning of the state bureaucrats and politicians who always run for short term gain, Tata realised that this project will always be a sort of permanent pain the neck with the volatile political situation that prevails in West Begal. After all West Bengal's loss is going to be some state's gain. You righly said that in your editorial. Allow me to add a liitle. While politicians must learn from Mamata Banerjee how not to behave, they should also learn how to behave like Tata's have done.

Drummer in DenialBy: Sahakar Gupta | Monday , 6 Oct '08 6:48:26 AM Reply | Forward Drummer starts with Nano project and goes on to his favorite past time of BJP bashing.
Ideology dynamicsBy: Chandran nair | Monday , 6 Oct '08 3:54:58 AM Reply | Forward Political parties must have regular reviews of ideologies, in the background of changing realities, on a high intellectual plain. There is the Kerala CM visualizing Tatas as a mere land grabber. His comrade in Bengal cannot, naturally sell Tata as the redeemer. Thus, Mamtas flourish. problem is, Marxists should sit down and evolve a method of drawing Bengal in the outline of China, with the limited crayons they have!
