As the situation stands today in West Bengal, most of us are sympathetic towards the TATA's for the political drama they are going through. However we need to reconsider our opinions on major fronts.
1) Mr. Tata has distanced himself from this land dispute as if its not his concern. If Mr. Tata would have ever sold/bought a second hand scooter/ car he would have realized that its as much the responsibility of the buyer as it is of the seller to ensure that the product being sold is genuine and legal in all its aspects.
2) Right to property was removed from the fundamental rights and made a legal right to facilitate the implementation of land Reforms for socialistic objectives and not for capitalistic ones like it is being used now, no directive principle states that agricultural land may be snatched from poor peasants for industrialization.
I think its time that the "doctrine of the basic structure of the constitution " was reiterated.

and this should not just be seen as a land problem. Agriculture in India is more of culture and dharma rather than profession and disturbing it has deep impact even on unimagined sections on society. Economically, even today a large amount of subsistence of rural people is dependent on barter and it is absolutely lame and false idea that all these farmers getting absorbed in service sector (if at all) will benefit them. There is fundamental difference between producing and servicing and has deep connotations (simply by understanding that production requires intellect but not being a clerk).
