I was reading the story of Susam Sarkar.
Until a few months ago, his family was earning a daily wage of 45/- and owned 1.5 acres of land in the under developed district of Singur. Then comes tatas, and they pay him 1.8 Million INR (a sum that is equivalent to 110 years of wages that he was earning) They also give him a job which increased the family income from 45/- to 200/- per day.
Now thanks to Mamta Banerjee, the work on Tata’s plan is shut down, and the media and his widow Balika Sarkar claims that it was because of this shutdown that he committed suicide. Now somebody tell me why would a man who has recently been paid money equivalent to 110 years of wages have money problem?
I do not want to sound disrespectful, but the man could have done anything with 1.8 Million of cash. Somehow it looks like either I am not getting my facts right, or the man was looking for a reason to end his life
