Has Tavleen Singh gone stark, raving mad ??!!!! Woah !!! [Speaking of which, we now have a situation in the Niyamgiri hills in which half-literate Adivasis have been allowed to lay claim to bauxite reserves that are in hills they do not own. They have been allowed to do this on the specious grounds that they believe the Niyamgiri hills are their god. With Rahul Gandhi and a small army of bleeding-heart busybodies on their side, they have been voting in village referendums to ban mining altogether in the Niyamgiri hills. This has been hailed as a victory for democracy without anyone noticing the precedent that is now set. Tomorrow villagers in Bihar and Jharkhand can refuse coal to be mined on similar grounds and how long is it before gas and oil are forced to remain in the ground or the oceans simply because some bunch of semi-literate villagers decide that mining offends their gods? ]
