No seriously, if people voice their opinion about not buying a mini sandwich (Nano), Tata will stop producing these and everyone from the homeless to Greenpeace shall remain happy.

On a side note, is the Nano ever going to be released?

[desiibond]

nano is ready for release. testing of the car is going on afaik.

the reason for people to become homeless is just one.

Mamta banerjee

Mamta banerjee

True Bro. The only one who benefited from Singur is Mamta banerjee. Her party won the electin from that place also.

To be honest i am from Kolkata and i know better than what media persons can ever write/show. Due to the delay and attitude of Mamata Banerjee, she was becoming popular among some sections of the people while those connected with this project (contractors. suppliers, labourers,etc..) absolutely hated her for this behaviour. This is where the dirty head politics came up and CPM easily blamed the Trinamool for this mess and eventually, Tata's pullout from WB. But the fact was had CPM accepted Mamata's demands, she would gain popularity and affection of a large number of people, which CPM cannot let it happen.
So they allowed TATA's to go to Gujju.
Politicians are clever breed and thats the problem with a comman man who doesnt have time to think deeply of this fiasco.

lotta people just go with the media's opinion. they dont have the time, nor do they think of the other side of the coin. mamata banerjee defended the poor farmers who were forced out of their lands and compensated with a pittance.

lots of us indians in metros often ignore the problems of the poor indian farmer. lots of indians are blissfully unaware of the dire situtions in the rural areas.. no power, no water.. there's nothing. they are the people who are constantly being exploited. why does tata want land at subsidised rate? its a billion dollar company. industrialisation should not come at the cost of environment or nature.

tata should have concentrated all this effort to make an electric car like the reva. he should hve tried to create a cheap rs 1 lac electric car..

and i also think the big flashy headlights on thenano were a waste of money.. those must be expensive. he should have spent less on the external appearance on the car....

[Ronnie11]

blame mamata banerjee for it..she is an idiot...she is against industrialisation..she wants us to be in the dark ages...i thought WB govt got a really good deal..a huge invt but mamata spoiled it like hell...it turned out to be modi's gain eventually..he grabbed it with open arms...so if not for mamata,nano project would have been done in West bengal & we would hgave prolly seen the car by now on roads..currently the land is empty & people are homeless,it was reported sometime in between that some people committed suicide due to unemployment since they gave up land for it...i heard now some chemcial ind will be coming up there but that is also being protested by mamata & so is the NSG hub in westbengal..she is an idiot...

[Rahim]

@Ronnie: Let me give a fair picture of WB politics.
This is the ugly face of politics and how low one can go for their benefits. WIth the quarrel between the CPM and Trinamool, there came a point where Trinamool agreed with the proposal given by the Govt but had the project came up at Singur, Mamata Banerjee would have become too popular in WB. So CPM played their dual nature perfectly. On one side, the Govt said , "Look we want this project to come up in Singur but Trinamool is blocking it." And on the other side, had they really agreed with Mamata, CPM would be in jeopardy, as the fame and love for Mamata would be sky-rocketed.

CPM double crossed Trinamool and put all the blame on her party for this fiasco.
If anybody ask the Govt, they would put up a brave face that we wanted this deal but Mamata put a road block. Its quite easy for CPM to behave this way.

Being closer to home, we know far better how Communist work here in WB and I dont give a damn about the so called English Media (bunch of testostrone filled donkeys they are) who just wants to play a neutral role but fails big time. With this 25 years of CPM rule West Bengal is the den for Gundaas and Dadas with no industrialisation and many units have either wiped out or becaome small.

There would be no respite for businessmen class as labours are given too much power. Just carry the red flag of Left Front and you have become the PM of India Just look at how CPM party bureua is run!! Karat ke baap ka CPM party hai. He doent listen to anyone and fair and equal say is non-existence in CPM.
Trinamool is the same

Both parties have shared the spoils and the party workers have been brainwashed and looted. Idolism is the worst kind of appreciation.

Dont mind the people behind the curtains.

I can go on and on about the political situation of theis Red Brigade,.......hopefully in future you might think deeply and not get your opinion moulded by the media.

[izzikio_rage]

At the end of the day the tata nano got made...india got their 1 lakh rupee car ...and a bunch of people got jobs in the nano plant at gujrat......seems like the one's who protested that they were losing a lot ended up losing the most....

[krinish]

Nano spotted on pune - bangalore Highway.... Check out the pics

those big front and rear lamps must be quite expensive. he could have saved a lot of money had he gone for simpler design lamps. and then with that money, he could have covered up those visible-beam seat support.

[comp@ddict]

Is it just me or that luks like the butt of an Indica?

[damngoodman999]

forget about the car " its looks horrible"

[comp@ddict]

But, it wud do a good job by replacing "autos."

[damngoodman999]

^^ ya , but see the look of the picture .. will u buy this car ???

[utsav]

its gud fo kids top speed = 70Kmph ,thats the speed at which i normally ride my bike

[comp@ddict]

[izzikio_rage]

good job posting the photos on the forum....

and as to whether the car is good or not....come on yaar...its just one lakh and some odd...give the company some credit to hace come up with this design and not one like what kinetic came up with some years back

[comp@ddict]

Yes from the price point it's very good. That's y i said this will be a good replacement to autos.

[krates]

already they have advertised the car as car for poor people ... so if you don't want to make a fun of yourself buy this car

[gxsaurav]

Despite of what you guys have been telling, I find Tata Nano a really really suitable car for my family.

I am out of Lucknow mostly & in Lucknow I have my Honda Unicorn. My father retired few months back so now he doesn't get an Office vehicle for his personal use due to which we never bought a car. However, now we need a car at home that my papa or Sister can drive when they have to travel in Lucknow for short distances like going to the market or some marriage party. You know, like using the car once in a while.

For such a use, Tata Nano at 1.5 Lakh isn't bad at all. I have seen people buying cars & then using it once or twice in a month, whats the point of buying a car for Rs 3 lakh when you are not even going to use it much.

I have convinced my father to buy a Tata Nano. We don't care if buying a Tata Nano will put the tag of "poor" on us. Its just a freakin Car which is sufficient for our needs.

It goes to a maximum of 60 KMph which is low for highway but is enough for in-city driving. Due to all the traffic we have in city roads, we hardly reach speed beyond 60 KMph & 40 KMph is said to be the safe limit anyway. Besides, if it is my father or sister driving then they won't be driving at more then 40 or 50 KMph anyway.

We thought of buying Alto but space wise it is similar to Tata Nano so why pay more money for something similar (except for the power etc, we don't need that much power for our family's needs)

+1 but still that "poor" tag is really bad... your friends and all will say nano le aaya arey wahi jon sabse sasti gaadi hai...

but you said you won't mind that so it is best for you...

but make sure i found the body to be plastic ... 1 accident (just a point) the car will blow and the charge of it's repair will cost a hell making it reach alto price...

He he, that hardly matters to me. My friends already know that among all of them, I am the only one who makes the best purchase decisions & my stuff lasts really long cos I always buy 100% efficient stuff.

but make sure i found the body to be plastic ... 1 accident (just a point) the car will blow and the charge of it's repair will cost a hell making it reach alto price...

First, I hope there never is an accident. 2nd, plastic isn't that bad...you can always save the car with Metal based front & rear bumper.

Hey,

Recently I have made a blog post for which i have visited both the places, Singure (West Bengal) and Sanand (Gujarat)

http://www.chotocheeta.com/2009/02/1...-country-trip/

Interesting facts come up when you visit the ground zero it self and see / hear for your self...

The reasons why I went there to really feel for my self as what really went wrong over where and what clicks there in Gujarat ??

Answer is simple..

Who to blame for singure ?

All of us..

Government is too weak to take strong actions... I mean to simply win bit of a land for their cadars they (CPM) can open fire and cause Nandigram but cant handle TMC in Singure ?? They just couldnt take some strong actions to keep the project running

In case of Mamta, she couldnt let it go.. every thing has its pressure point and point of no return, you press the pressure points, why push some one to their point of no return ?

Last of all, the real cause is the mentality of Bengal

unfortunate it is but currution thinks nothing but quick profit compare to states like Gujarat where they know a simple fact, why earn Rs. 10, lets allow comon man to earn Rs. 1000 and then take Rs. 50 as bribe where as in WB, they are happy with their Rs. 10 from poeple who earns Rs. 100

We here in Bengal would love to do politics to make sure the road in front of our home is made good where as I learn in ground zero in Gujarat that every one is ready to sacrifice the road in front of their home to make sure the Highway towards the business (no matter whether it is industry or agriculture) is made good as they know they can earn more via that project so that can build their own road

Very unfortunate but thats ground reality for us

[dips_view]

hey what do want to say "this is mentality in Bengal" dont compare Bengal with Gujrat.At least there is no Narendra Modi.Who openly Support communal violence against a whole community.
Hitler made Germany superior in Technology.So can you support Hitler?
Earning is not everything.Learning is More important.
THATS WHY" KOLKATA IS THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF INDIA"

[Stuge]

well ,this has all happened because of g0vt and people .Mamata bANERRJEEE would not ahve gone so for ,but she got support of many thats why she was successful .

[Choto Cheeta]

hey what do want to say "this is mentality in Bengal" dont compare Bengal with Gujrat.At least there is no Narendra Modi.Who openly Support communal violence against a whole community.

That is one of my reasons to be in Gujarat to see the reality by my self as enough of reading in paper or news channel..

I wanted to see and learn for my self.. Be there at ground Zero / heart of the trouble ZONE in which you think Muslim community is effected effected because of modi.. But fact is Standard of living of Muslims (Common men) there are at-least 10 times better than Muslims here in Kolkata..

Make no mistake I am not supporting what a monster like modi have done after Gujarat as allowing so many deaths, but is not that what RED brigade have done where for last 30 years ?? The only difference is because of Monster Modi, Muslims have died where as in Bengal, every one died who opposed RED brigade !!!

When Gujarat benefits, its not just the Hindu's benefits, every one does.. Tell me something, we always get news that because of Modi so many Muslims have died but do we get news that, because of Modi, only the Hindu's in Gujarat is making progress or profits ??

THATS WHY" KOLKATA IS THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF INDIA"

We are, we should be proud of this.. But is it the only thing what we want ? else where every one would plan to buy an Audi and here should just dream to established the fact in a meeting that

Hey, we are the CULTURAL CAPITAL OF INDIA ??
