Thank you for the link - reading stuff like that makes me realise how big the world is and how little I know about most of it.
More flippantly: "they ask how much god would go for if the god were Ram or Allah or Jesus Christ." Jesus went for $2000 on Ebay (http://www.fatima.org/news/newsviews/pr041505.asp) a few years ago.
Very many thanks for sharing that. Because I follow the Indian news, I knew about the Naxalites, but I had no understanding of what was driving them. That has made it all crystal clear.
Ah, that's interesting; I hadn't heard of the Naxalites, or even realised that India had a Maoist movement, but I'm familiar with the behaviour of mining companies from Soil and Soul (http://www.alastairmcintosh.com/soilandsoul.htm), which talks about more or less the exact same issue on Eigg.
In addition, I'll read pretty much anything Arundhati Roy writes, up to and including shopping lists.
