Foreign investment in the booming real estate sector of West Bengal gets a boost with a London-based company joining hands with an NRI entrepreneur to invest $20 million in two mini-townships here.
London-based REIT Asset Management, which plans to create $1 billion assets in India in the next three years, has tied up with Eden Realty Ventures Private Limited, led by US-based Indrajit De, to set up the projects at Bonhooghly in north and Maheshtala in south in greater Kolkata area.
'The cash investment in the two project is 20 million USD besides collaterals for bank finances,' Eden Realty managing director Sachchidanand Rai told IANS.
'REIT India chairman David Cohen finalised three projects in India out of 140 proposals and of the three two are developed by us here,' said Rai, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur.
REIT, the London-based real estate management trust, owns 6.8 billion USD worth assets in Europe. The twin project in Kolkata in collaboration with Eden is their maiden venture with an Indian partner since their other project at Pune is a 100 percent FDI.
According to David Cohen, the chairman of REIT property Management India, the projects are the beginning of 'a long-standing relationship with the state and the city'.

It is not Cold war. We live in accordance with Global Order. We the enslaved masses of Post Modern Manusmriti enacted from Washington DC, World bank, IMF, WTO,ADB and worldwide MNCs!

'...A National Policy for creating a Global Human Development Cadre for India can be evolved through a national team drawing experts from multiple ministries, including education system, and various professional associations and societies,' Kalam said at a summit on education organised by the industry lobby Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
It is Truce In Nandigram And they have waged war on another front!
It is Retail War!
The retail war is no more about the most effective supply chain, the battle ground has shifted to getting on board the best suppliers in the world, globally known as aggregators. Big boys, Reliance and Bharti are all vying for these category specialist agents, reports CNBC-TV18. The retail product mix is changing and so is the supply chain model. In 2006, apparel was the biggest revenue contributor for the retail sector, and food and grocery was a distant second. However, experts say this order will reverse in the next 5 years. With consumer buying patterns changing constantly, retail players are preferring to hire 'aggregators' than invest themselves in the supply chain. Now what do these aggregators have to offer?
They are sector and category specialists. They provide end to end supply solutions to the retailer from investment in product development, technology, sourcing and quality assurance. Experts believe this will help revamp the entire supply ecosystem of India.
Well, it is Mutiny once again! The Mutiny is live and sounds the death Knell!
What the worldwide Ruling Zionist Hindutva Rotten system plans for us, the Mutiny is going to upset the Apple Cart! Democracy is the greatest Betrayal aligned with so called Ideologies and Ruling Non Ruling multi color Multi dimentional anti human anti nature political entities Worldwide!

We know some thing about Fidel Castro and Chavaez and about the Great Resistance of latin America against Unipolar Zionist corporate Imperialism! And now, you see, Pope Benedict XVI has expressed concern about authoritarian governments and Marxist movements in some countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. From Sao Paulo, VOA's Brian Wagner reports the pontiff asked bishops at a regional conference to address challenges to democracy and the church.Pope Benedict XVI at the inauguration ceremony of the V Conference of Latin American and Caribbean Bishops in Aparecida, Brazil, 13 May 2007
Pope Benedict spoke to more than 160 bishops and cardinals meeting near Sao Paulo for the fifth conference of Latin American and Caribbean bishops. He said many things have changed since the regional group last met in 1992 in Dominican Republic to discuss ways to strengthen the Roman Catholic church and defend against challenges to its authority.
Latin America is home to nearly one half of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics.
Pope Benedict welcomed the spread of democracy in Latin America in recent years. But he said some countries in the Western Hemisphere are in danger of regressing to Marxism and authoritarian rule. He said Marxist-ruled countries have a sad history of economic and environmental destruction, as well as the painful oppression of people's souls.

No one knows when tand where the Truce ends and a new War waged so easily! As we see in Nandigram , much hyped Peace Talks have to take place as cease fire is on. On the other hand , Ruling left has not given up the Capture Plan at all!
It is War undeclared as the Eviction Rural India Drive stands Incomplete! The Holy War continues for hundred and hundred years! As we Feel so Good under Saffron Umbrella of Sangh Nazi Hindutva!

The major challenge Secretary Rice in Moscow faces, heading into talks at the Kremlin, is Russia's still simmering anger at American plans to deploy an anti-missile defense shield in Poland, the Czech Republic and a third - as yet unnamed - nation in the Caucasus.
Washington says the system is needed to guard Europe, including Russia, against potential threats from so-called rogue states like Iran and North Korea.
Another difficult point of discussion awaiting Ms. Rice is Moscow's opposition to a draft resolution before the United Nations Security Council in New York, providing for supervised independence for Kosovo.Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin has said Russian diplomats will not touch (determine a position on) the draft, until Rice's visit to Moscow is finished. Volk says, unless Rice and her Russian counterparts make some progress on this issue, he believes a Russian veto at the Security Council will be inevitable.
"If Kosovo becomes independent, it will mean a serious defeat for Russian diplomacy, for Russian foreign policy, and indeed it could be interpreted widely as, once again, a weakness of Russia in international relations, which the Kremlin elite cannot admit," Volk said.
Why Nandigram and Singur only? Only Noida or Kalingnagar? Navi Mumbai Only?
In this Captive Geopolitics , we have to be ruled by the forces of market. Our Lives and Livelihood depend on their mercy.

The retail War
Not since the telecom wars has as fierce a battle been seen as that between the opponents of retail chains and big business groups that are launching them, reports Seetha from the front line
FACE OFF: Small traders in Delhi stage a protest against big retail chains
In Hyderabad, cigarette giant ITC is under fire for its proposal to sell vegetables and fruits on air-conditioned pushcarts, using existing hawkers. “We plan to burn those ITC carts if and when they are put in place,” thunders Shaktiman Ghosh, general secretary of the National Hawkers’ Union.
Boycotts, threats of violence, communal appeals — the war is intensifying. Not since the fierce battles in the telecom sector in the early part of this decade has the country seen such furious face offs in any industry.
The industry in question is the burgeoning organised retail industry. Every possible weapon is being deployed in the battle against large retail chains, with Wal-Mart being the focus of ire, on the ground that they will wipe out crores of traders, shopkeepers and hawkers. “This is the most ugly form of corporate capitalism that demands total allegiance to branded products and endeavours to wipe out small shopkeepers,” declares Naren Chatterjee, member of the state secretariat of the Forward Bloc.

Chidambaram favours industrialisation violence continues despite Truce!
West Bengal has denied Reliance Fresh clearances that will enable it to buy fruits and vegetables directly from farmers, enabling it to sell produce to consumers.
But the Guru may not be stopped! Truce or Violence, it is the headache of statepower involving Law and Order. It may not change the Rush on the Captalist Highway of Sensex india!
Chidambaram exuded confidence that future of Indian economy is bright and the country is poised to emerge as world's second largest economy in the coming twenty years!Stressing on the need of industrialisation along with growth in the agricultural sector, the finance minister said ''depending solely on agriculture will not serve the purpose as we need a rapid industrialisation simultaneously.'' He said no country could abolish proverty without industrilisation.
Delivering a lecutre on occasion of Tata Steel's "J.J.Irani Exclellence in Education Award" in Jamshedpur, Mr Chidambaram said he was optimistic that he would be able to see the end of abject proverty of the countrymen in his life time.
The Nandigram effect is striking deeper roots, clouding the drive to industrialise vast swathes in the country.Posco today said it was willing to redraw the site map of India’s biggest foreign investment project, bypassing a pocket of land resistance, if the Orissa government provided an alternative plot.The offer from the South Korean steel-maker, made after a hostage crisis that ended late last night, has striking similarities with the Bengal government’s retreat from Nandigram.
Anti-acquisition stir
Pockets of resistance that could give the West Bengal government difficult times ahead are building up throughout north Bengal on issues like land acquisition, tea industry, the cinchona plantation and right of the forest villagers. Encashing on the collective grievance, pressure groups of the region have promoted a platform under the banner of ‘Jana Unnayan Adhikar Mancha,’ which is threatening to flex muscle.
The JUAM brought out a rally here today with representatives from the academia, Rashtriya Bana Sramajibi Manch, United Forum of the cinchona plantation at Mungpoo, AICCTU, Swadhikar and Bhumi Uchched Pratirodh Committees of Gajaldoba and Fulbari.
After 14 people died there in the March 14 police firing, the administration had issued a formal notification saying land would not be acquired for industry in Nandigram.
Hundreds of street vendors armed with rods stormed three Reliance outlets asthis week fears of survival sparked the first attack on the company since its countrywide push into farm retail.The protesters, among them a large number of women, marched down the Jharkhand capital, screaming slogans and targeting one store after another before police used bamboo canes to chase them away.The attack, one of the most serious instances of unrest linked to the entry of large retail chains in the fragmented sector, comes at a time when the corporate giant faces opposition in neighbouring Bengal, too.
Last month, the Mukesh Ambani-led company had to whittle down plans for a project spanning Bengal after the original proposal ran into resistance from the Forward Bloc and other allies of the CPM-led government.
Buddhadev has noto resign! So, narendra Modi follws suit. It is Indian Polity which is an infinite saga of endless war and meaningless truce! What if the Gujarat government Monday informed the Supreme Court that one of the three arrested senior police officers of the state has confessed his role in the staged killing of Ujjain man Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife!
In a massive exercise launched by Kerala government to save Munnar, the special task force set up by state Chief Minister VS Achutanandan has started demolishing illegal structures.
How do you rate Buddha V/S Achutanandan?
Ever since the three panchayats’ residents learnt of the Posco plan 20 months ago, they haven’t allowed any government official or policeman to enter their villages and have threatened “another Nandigram” if force were used.If the government has to find alternative land in keeping with the Posco offer, it has to come from adjoining areas. Getting private land there could be difficult, too.
The more governments and companies backtrack in the face of land protests, the more emboldened people might be to take to agitation, even violence. This would leave investors with little choice but to explore virgin, remote areas.That will require big-ticket infrastructure investment by governments — not an easy task considering the funds constraints.
Yes, Naveen Patnayak also need not resign! What if the People`s latest mandate has ousted mercilessly the Corporate Socialists from the most populated state in India where a Noida is grown on a grave yard of Rural India!
But Palestinian youth gather around a burning vehicle following factional clashes in Gaza City, 14 May 2007 and the Palestinian interior minister resigned Monday amid the failure of a truce meant to stop factional fighting in Gaza.Hani Kawasmeh told a news conference he could not continue as interior minister without authority.His resignation took place after gunmen of the rival Islamic militant Hamas and Fatah movements clashed in Gaza City, leaving two Hamas fighters dead and at least 10 people wounded early today.
In Bhubaneswar, Posco spokesman Sashank Patnaik said: “If the government gives us such an offer (of land elsewhere), we will seriously consider it.”
The company has, however, offered to forgo only the 200-odd acres marked out at Dhinkia panchayat, where three of its officials were held hostage for several hours yesterday. It said nothing about the Gadakujang and Nuagaon panchayats where the rest of the earmarked private land lies.
The Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, which has led the land resistance for nearly two years, insisted that Posco must keep out of all three panchayats. “By dropping one gram panchayat they are trying to divide the agitation,” Samiti president Abhay Sahu said.
Even if the company leaves all three panchayats out of its plans, its proposed Rs 51,000-crore plant would not need to be relocated completely, unlike the projects planned in Nandigram. For, only 438 acres of the 4,004 acres it needs is privately owned. But Sahu insisted that “Posco must shift its project site” altogether.
The violence broke out only hours after Egyptian mediators brokered a deal Sunday with the two groups to pull their gunmen off the streets of Gaza.The truce was called to end a round of factional fighting in the Gaza Strip that killed four people and wounded 12 others Sunday.
Sunday's fighting began when gunmen killed a local commander of the Fatah-linked al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and his driver. The group blamed Hamas, which denied involvement.In another shooting, gunmen killed two men and wounded nine others in Gaza City.
CAG comes out with severe censure of defence purchases
http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=371298&ssid=50&sid=BUS
New Delhi, May 14: In a strong censure of the country's weapons procurement procedure, the Comptroller and Auditor General today said the process of technical and trial evaluation lacked "objectivty and fair play" and 60 per cent of purchases were made from a single vendor.
There are deficiencies too in formulation of general staff qualitative requirements and acute lack of coordination in procurement of weapons common to the three services army, navy and IAF, the CAG said in its latest report tabled in Parliament.
Coming out for the first time with a 'performance audit' of defence capital acquisitions, the CAG said "the process of technical and trial evaluation of weapons system did not demonstrate objectivity and fair play".
The report said that in "60 per cent of cases of army purchases, only a single vendor was pre-qualified".
The accounting watchdog body's observation about the new defence procurement comes as India, according to official figures tabled in Parliament, spent a staggering Rs 44,009 crore on arms imports in the last three years.
In coming two to three years, the defence projections of purchase of weapon systems are to touch another Rs 45,000 to Rs 50,000 crores (almost 10 to 15 billion dollars).
Nandigram: An Unpublished Rejoinder to "Left Intellectuals" [The following is the text of a letter sent to the editor of the Economic and Political Weekly, Mumbai on April 21 last in response to another letter carried by the journal earlier.
The text of that letter, which had also been released as a statement presumably on march 23/24, is also reproduced at the end in order to make things more meaningful.
In view of the fact that some sort of "settlement" on Nandigram is now actively being at least contemplated by a number of the major parties concerned through some "all-party meeting", which may be held rather sooner than later despite some resistance from some quarters, one may find the exchange all the more relevant.]

The Editor

Sub: Letters
Dear Editor,
I'll be highly obliged if you carry the following in your highly esteemed journal.
The letter "On Nandigram", March 31, signed by a number of well-known academics and activists [including Prabhat Patnaik et al] makes both an interesting and disturbing reading.
The pathetic way these "Left intellectuals" have tried to whitewash the brutal crimes committed by the CPIM-led Left Front government in Nandigram on March 14-15 should come as an eye-opener for many on the Left. They have brazenly tried to emulate in their own sophisticated ways what the priestly clan endowed with the moral/spiritual halo around them used to do to bail out the ruling oligarchs, whom they were obliged to serve in the good olden days, mired in a mess of their own making.
While the "letter" repeatedly talks of the "Left" and the "Left Front", it very skilfully tries to hush up the crucial fact that in the context of Nandigram the CPIM stands "in grand isolation" even within the "Left" and the "Left Front". The CPI, Forward Bloc and the RSP, all the three other major LF partners, have repeatedly gone public condemning the actions taken by the State government in Nandigram. They had even submitted a five-point charter demanding, inter alia, unequivocal condemnation of the police actions. Even Jyoti Basu himself reportedly expressed his unhappiness with the way things were being handled bythe government and the State CPIM. In the LF meeting on March 17, however, the CPIM stoutly resisted these demands. Eventually an eight-point declaration was issued very much diluting the demands made by the allies and incorporating some measures to restrain them from critiquing the CPIM and the government in public.
The "letter", which had been issued as a "statement" on March 23/24 mentions none of that.
It on the contrary goes on to pompously claim: "Nobody belonging to the Left would ever justify repressive action against peasants or workers who are the basic classes of the Left." Totally oblivious of not only the Soviet Union under Stalin, the People's Republic of China under Mao and Kampuchea under Pol Pot but also the brutal barbaric and massive police actions against "refugees" from erstwhile East Pakistan in Marichjhapi in south Bengal in 1979 by the self-same LF government resulting in huge deaths and forcible evictions.
It also claims with breathtaking casuistry that "the CPI(M), the leading partner of the Left Front, has asked for a judicial inquiry into the tragedy". Never mind that only on March 17 the Left Front had stonewalled a demand for an enquiry by the LF partners themselves. It is only on March 19, Prakash Karat, for the first time, talked of the desirability of a judicial enquiry in [a] press conference in Delhi and in a signed article in the central party organ, the People's Democracy, published thereafter he claimed that but for the Kolkata High Court there would have had been a judicial enquiry by then.
But the WestBengal government, giving a lie to all these claims, made no move whatever in that direction despite categorical demands by various sections of the public.
The claim made in the "letter" "that the state government has committed itself to recompensing the families of the victims" also appears to be nothing but gross distortion of ground realities.
As regards the final all too pious appeal "to all concerned not to let the wounds of Nandigram become festering sores", one can only remind that it would not only require that the victims of Nandigram are properly recompensed, never mind that the loss of life is irreparable, but the culprits behind the mayhem, widely alleged to be pre-planned and deliberate, must also be identified through an impartial open public enquiry and justice be meted out in the promptest possible manner.If it applies in case of Gujarat, it must apply in case of Nandigram as well. Otherwise the sores will only keep festering.

Statement
We the undersigned, who have long been associated with the
Left
movement in the country, feel deeply pained and anguished by the loss
of
lives and injuries suffered during the police action in Nandigram on
March
14. Nobody belonging to the Left would ever justify repressive action
against peasants or workers who are the basic classes of the Left. The
tragedy at Nandigram on March 14 was an entirely unanticipated,
unjustified
and unfortunate turn of events, whose exact origin and course should be
established through a proper inquiry. The Left Front government
meanwhile
has announced the removal of the police force from Nandigram, has
reiterated
its policy that no land will be acquired for industrial purposes
without the
consent of the peasants and other people concerned, has put on hold all
land
acquisition, and has put a halt to the construction of SEZs until the
Central legislation on SEZs itself, to which the Left has always been
opposed, is suitably amended. And the CPI(M), the leading partner of
the
Left Front, has asked for a judicial inquiry into the tragedy. Under
these
circumstances, and in view of the fact that the state government has
committed itself to recompensing the families of the victims, all
efforts
must be made so that tension subsides and normalcy returns to the area,
allowing the numerous refugees, who have been driven out from there and
living in makeshift camps, to return home. We appeal to all concerned
not to
let the wounds of Nandigram become festering sores.

Rates at which banks can borrow money from it. This is popularly referred as the ‘repo rates’
Curbing liquidity by increasing CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio ie the portion out of the deposits raised by banks, that must be kept with RBI).
The net effect: increase in the interest rates by the banks.
