Take a Pledge in 2013
End Development
Terrorism from the world
Executing any so called development project
by forcefully asking people to leave their home lands and livelihoods can be
called development terrorism.
Development terrorists, to woo the affected people, can go to the extent
of preparing false 'impact assessment reports' and tom-tom about manipulated
& exaggerated positive impacts about a project; and if nothing of this
works to displace project affected people from their line-line resources, kill
them in several ways.
Let 2013 see a new beginning. Let the so called civilized and modern
society find ways to promote development that is inclusive, equitable and
righteous; that does not have to kill one segment of people to benefit another
segment. Let this development model
consider and respect both common people and ecology as living entities; and not
as mere commodities to be traded for development of the so called mainstream
order.
Lets take this resolution this New Year!
Lets counter Development Terrorism!!
Rather Than directly saying Development Terrorism, we can say Terrorism in the name of Development.This is because Development is not about terrorism or Terrorism is not about Development.
