Housing as the Fundamental Right, 2. nominal price is at its historical peak > Paradoxical ????????? 3. Four hundred thousand slum dwellers were rendered homeless within a period of two months > Where are they now, back to the villages ???? 4. shelter with all basic amenities is recognised as a human right. > but not at some one else's cost. 5. unemployment, education, health, etc, of poor people and not demolition alone. If Sarkar Mai-bap is to provide everything as a Fundamental Right, FREE; India is surely UTOPIAN, deluded perhaps. Only one tiny-winy point : to provide the above FREE, Everyone of us, including the slum dwellers; will have to work - if at all - for FREE. Wishful thinking ! it is not taxable. Wish you all the best, perhaps all will join in to get a ""Free Lunch"" Thanks for your time. Best Wishes.

The march was a perfect foil, reflecting the ???real??™ concerns of the ???real??™ people as regards ongoing scientific-technological ???developments??™ and its effects on their own lives, for the glittering razzmatazz under way at the same time in the not too far away state capital Hyderabad in the name of deliberating science and technology for the rural folks under the exalted banner of the Science Congress. The Movement Against Uranium Project (MAUP), a constituent of the CNDP took the initiative in organising the people??™s protest. Dr. Satya Lakshmi and Dr. Channa Vasavaiah, both CNDP NCC members, played leading roles along with many others. Ms. Saraswati K, a young environmentalist and filmmaker and Mr. Kishan, also an environmentalist, from Hyderabad, were amongst the leading organisers. The CPI, CPIML (New Democracy) and Jana Vigyan Vedike were actively involved. The local CPI(M), Congress and TDP activists publicly proclaimed their support and concerns. The padayatra commenced on January 3 from the Peddagattu village, on the top a hillock, earmarked for underground mining. On the first day the padayatra passed through four villages stretching over 22 kilometres. On the second day it covered eight villages and 26 kilometres. Three major towns on the way joined enthusiastically. On the third day, it started from PeddaVoora Mandal and reached PA Pally Mandal covering 30 kms. and eight villages enroute. The next day, the marchers proceeded to Mallepally and from there to Devarakonda town. By then the support had significantly swelled and major political parties like CPI(M), Congress(I) and the Telegu Desam came forward to express their solidarity. On the fifth and concluding day, the paadayatra started at Devarakonda and ended at Seripally, the proposed site for uranium processing, in the afternoon covering a number of small hamlets and villages on the way. A largely attended public meeting was held as the culminating event. All the groups were represented. The meeting expressed its determination to take the people's struggle further forward and foil the life-threatening Project at all costs. The CPI MLA from Munugodu spoke at length and conveyed the message of solidarity by Mr. Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy, the MP from Nalgonda. Other speakers included Ms. Padma, a state level front ranking woman leader. Dr. Satya Lakshmi talked of the recent MAUP letter to the Secretary, Ministry of Environment & Forests protesting against the Environmental Clearance dated 21.12.2005 accorded to the UCIL for the Uranium Mining Project at Peddagattu- Lambapur in Nalgonda district disregarding the overwhelming opposition from the public, voluntary organizations and experts pointing to and elaborating the dangers arising out of the proposed project abutting the Nagarjuna Sagar Reservoir, catering drinking and irrigation water to about one third population of the state, including the Hyderabad. The prominent activists who had participated in the march includes Dr.Surendra Gadekar and Ms. Kesri Das from Sampoorna Kranti Vidyalay, Vedchi, Gujarat; Mr. Rajan Naidu, a human rights activist from Auroville, Pondicherry; Mr. Gummadi Narasaiah, CPIML (New Democracy) from Yellendu, Khammam; Prof.Vishnu Kamat and Mr. Ramakrishna from CANE (Citizens for Alternatives to Nuclear Energy), Bangalore; Ms. Meera ??“ a social activist from UK; Dr. K Balagopal, a leading human rights activist from Hyderabad. Dr.Srikumar from NIT, Suratkal, Mangalore and Mr.Sukla Sen from CNDP. Apart from the local people, a good number of prominent social activists, filmmakers, writers, journalists, doctors and lawyers from Hyderabad had also joined. ----------------------- [4] From: "sujayrao2000" <sujayrao2000@yahoo.com> Date: Tue Jan 17, 2006 Subject: Updated Theory of Cultural Syntheses of India Updated Theory of Cultural Syntheses of India www.sujayraom.com Please go through the site Plus call for a balanced approach to Ancient Indian History [ the.moderator has not rated this site] ------------------------ [5] From: Sukla Sen <suklasen@yahoo.com> Date: Tue Jan 17, 2006 Subject: Iran Imbroglio: China and Russia Join the Chorus http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/16/AR2006011600281.html?referrer=email&referrer=email U.S. Wins Support In Iran Dispute China, Russia Join Call to Suspend Nuclear Program |
