Posco

In the beginning I would like to clarify that I am totally in favour of development and industrialisation. I am not in favour of "narrow mindedness" and 'backwardness'.
I would like to say that all the people protesting against Posco plant in Orissa(Odisha) have vested interests. They are protesting against vague reasons like 'human rights'. What about backwardness of the state and the region. Is it not a violation of human rights?
Reasons like why a second port is required? It is required so that the Posco plant can go on without any hiccups.
Loss of livelihood? When plant is formed, millions will get employment in secondary and ancillary services and industries which will form as a result of that.
Loss of land? What is use is land which is keeping people backward like they used to live 2000 years ago. We have to move with the times.
Environment? What use is environment if it does not sustain the most important species of the planet which is the human beings. Also, there would be checks and balances to see that environment is not affected. Why does not it become like a learning curve. Why not learn from it. How to make it a project which is also environment friendly.
I will say the "Indian industrial families and businesses" are the ones who are funding these protests. The ones like Tatas and Jindals and the like. They do not want "foreigners in their midst". The very same people who forced "Uninor" and Etisalat out. And they want to keep Walmart and other multi-brand retail out.
The same people want to keep foreigners out of power sector.
It is truly sad that local people of Odisha cannot see this plot and do not want a very beautiful project like Posco to take off.
The people of Odisha will suffer by continuing to remain backward and 'narrow minded' and I am also suffering mentally. Because if there is lack of development or resistance to development it afffects me mentally.
The very people protesting a project like Posco are not much different than the naxalites who blow up school buildings and mobile towers and public property. Thats my view.

Meanwhile watched two more movies.
"Shudh Desi Romance" and "Dedh Ishqiya". Both movies wanted to show 'something more' but could not show due to 'narrow mindedness' of Indians.
Shudh Desi Romance wanted to show "threesome" but obviously could not show it due to society and censor restrictions.
Dedh Ishqiya wanted to show kissing and lovemaking scenes between Huma and Madhuri but could not show it due to again censor and society restrictions. Obviously, they are lesbians in the movie but due to 'possible protests' like it happened in the case of 'Fire' movie by Shiv Sena and like minded parties they did not show it openly.
