Arun K. Agrawal, of Reliance: The Real Natwar fame, whose book has been infamously ignored by our media, a tell-tale sign of who our real rulers are, has written a rather interesting letter to our head sardar (hmm...not only is that redundant but somehow paradoxically oxymoronic too). It puts not just the illegal, but also the legal mining in a much needed perspective. Who is it that should be allowed to ravage our natural resources, if they are to be ravaged in the first place. Who should benefit, and for what greater purpose for our social futures? Big questions which might remain unanswered in our system of pseudo-democracy (to steal a pseudo-nationalist coin made to pseudo-bash pseudo secularists). Can anything stop the bureaucratic and political incest necessary for the success of wanton mining? The news is that Agrawal has lodged a PIL last week. He is fighting for what is not mine or yours or theirs, but ours. Take notice. 'If you will not do it, who will?'
