This has led to a serious security crackdown. The Hindustan Times reports there's a curfew in effect, but it seems that the separatist movement there - which has been around since 1979 - is once again in a festering stage.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>Meantime, in West Bengal, there has been further violence in India - but it's not ab out separatism here. It is more about authorities trying to set up a Special Economic Zone and land acquisitions for a chemical hub. Seems the locals aren't thrilled with something akin to "eminent domain" - which although contentious in the USA hasn't resulted in this kind of violence. Five dead so far. British press reports are wondering about the safety of investing in the region.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>These reports today give rise to an interesting phenomena - it's almost like India's stars have moved into an unfavorable position, or something. About the only good news might be that a Kashmir separatist leader has unveiled a unification plan for the region whose ownership is disputed by India and Pakistan. However, we don't expect such a plan would meet favor among the militant Islamic jihadists in that neighborhood, so we look for more news from India - say in about a week.Dreyfusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474508469099909457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229602.post-1168246599666962432007-01-08T03:56:00.000-05:002007-01-08T03:56:00.000-05:00oy. rodney and colleen.i had the misfortune of rea...oy. rodney and colleen.<BR/>i had the misfortune of reading this before i had my morning coffee.<BR/>one of my favorite quotes:<BR/>A few weeks ago, while trying to define happiness, she said: “The only way to be happy is to be of service to another.
