INDIA PROTEST ACTION NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT NOW
Chain Fast in solidarity with the Save Narmada Movement 

Today (June 12) is the 23rd day of the indefinite hunger strike by four
activists of the Narmada Bachao Andolan. They have fasted two days
longer than Gandhi did on any of his fasts during the freedom struggle.

Their demands are more modest than his ever were. They are protesting
against the Madhya Pradesh government's forcible eviction of more than a
thousand adivasi families to make way for the Maan Dam. All they're
asking is that the government of MP implement its own policy of
providing land for land to those being displaced by the Maan Dam.
There's no controversy here. The dam has been built. The displaced
people must be resettled before the reservoir fills up in the monsoon
and submerges their villages..... 

.....it's not enough to sing songs about giving peace a chance. Doing
everything we can to support movements like the Narmada Bachao Andolan
is how we give peace a chance. This is the REAL war against terror. 

---Arundhati Roy in Znet (June 12)

Media:  Corporate Law Rules 
(2) Corporate Law, Capitalist Fundamentalism and the Media
In the aftermath of September 11, journalists liked to present themselves as
independent voices of reason, caution and restraint. In fact they were
spokespeople for an industry in desperate need of a rapid and decisive
response to the threat of terrorism to calm the nerves of the stock market
and of advertisers.
