'Seven die' in India farm vs. industry clash

I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of this as India "develops" (read: bulldozes ahead over the bodies of the poor and disenfranchised).

t least seven people are reported to have died after police fired on farmers protesting at the acquisition of farmland for industry in eastern India.

The clash happened in Nandigram in West Bengal state where thousands of riot police have been sent to quell protests against a planned chemical hub.

Police say they met fierce resistance from thousands of villagers.
