Clemenceau found its way to India. For those who are not aware what Clemenceau is- It is a warship (France). Indian officials have agreed to load the wastes into our country. Inspite of the agreement, that more than 50% of the harmful elements should be already cleaned, Clemenceau seems to come to India in its same old form. When such actions has its effects even after several decades, I guess it should be cleared to everyone as what is happening. Many of us are unaware as what is really going on in this issue. Not only this, in the month of July when Nuclear Treaty was signed with U.S was not brought to the common citizens notice. These issues remain a black triangle for everyone.
Even in setting up ITER @ France, whole lot of share was burdened on India. Am wondering as who has the effective role in talking about this or raising a question? Is'nt it a common concern to bring it to citizens notice?? Pls do let me know if we can do anything in these issues.
By the way, almost all the jujubee (Small) culturals are over in the city. Its now time for the King. ;) Yeah, I mean the IIT- Saarang. Visit http://saarang.org/. Those who have already missed the lovely opportunity to see our culturals, try to visit IIT-Saarang. No matter whether we are participating or not ;) there is nothing wrong in being an active viewer. For anything, they need spectators as well. :))
Sulekha has also a major role in this culturals. There is a blogging competition by Sulekha also.

Hi Ponnarasi.Very Kind of you to promote that URL .Thanks a lot..but a small change .. just as u have given Saarang.org a link.It would be great if u could link the same like this Official Saarang Blog and Saarang Sulekha Blog competition
though peace activists strongly protested the ship being sent to india... we have it now!
govt. reasons the wages ppl get in shib breaking yards!!! hmmm!
at the end of the day we have accepted it, though the international community opposed!
good post was thinking about writing on this but u beat me to it.
"Pls do let me know if we can do anything in these issues"
well we have the right to information act under which we can try to get the necessary info on any govt related matter.i am not aware of the specs but i am damn sure this will involve a lot of paper work and will require our utmost patience and dedication.
One man's junk is another man's treasure... They are junking it in India because we had the cheapest quote to dismantle it and cheap labour.Maybe when we are a rich nation we can also be a bit fussy too
@Dinesh
Try going to Saarang this time. They have many new programmes added this time.
@Kartik,
I guess the change which I have made was what you mentioned.
@Senthil,
Yes, Atleast there were people who protested against this.
@Aval,
Very true! First of all the workers should be made aware. And those workers in France (Involved in building this warship) have started a group against this in 90's.
@Thamizhan,
Perception differs!
@Paurna
Am looking forward for your post on this issue. Your style will be different from mine and you will have something which I have not mentioned. So pls do write! Thanku for that nice suggestion.
@Smiley,
One man's junk is another man's treasure. Well said! And very true. But when will our nation become rich ;)
Have a nice day,
Ponnarasi Kothandaraman.
Hi Ponnarasi,
Saarang is an event that each and every college student atleast in Chennai shudnt miss out. Myself n frenz will always be there each year, this is the 6th year and we ve got the tickets for Shankar Mahadevan's music concert, since we r working now we cud be there only on a holiday :(
Regarding that dumping matter, Paurna has said everything that i had to say. I hope the government shud have some website where non military treaties and agreements signed with foreigners must be made available. That day is not far.
Clemenceau is a disaster if it comes to India. Even people who used to work in Clemenceau while it was operational are now suffering from diseases afflicted by asbestos. Even if we make people aware, there are hitches because these people would argue that they have to lose out on the money.
Third world countries are dumping places for first world countries. With media, internet, these things are becoming very visible and thats a good thing. What you could do is: sign the petition at http://www.greenpeace.org/india/deathship and this webpage has more details if you need.
Talking abt. clemenceau, even old and junked computers come to india where people in india do the speeration based on the metal and junk it later for money... and this also causes health related diseases. Just that its not as visible as the ship as even indian people dump computers in this way!
@ Ram,
Hehehe nice that you make yourself free atleast a day. ;) And Am happy that am at present free(vetti). Glad to hear that the day is not so far...
@Manikandan,
Very true. Don't Miss this year too.
@NK,
Thankyou! That was a very nice and useful info. Yeah, only big things are seen and I never knew about this computer stuff. Thanku once again for sharing a nice info.
Have a nice day,
Ponnarasi Kothandaraman.
lol its like 5:30 and am @ work ... i never miss the sarang rock shows since like 1995 it had a diff name bak then how ever this year i wont be there ( no GF ) *sighs*
abt the ship ... true there are so many things that are bad abt the ship agreed ... but from what i can infer of the attitude that many of us has is dump the garbage outa ur compund ... may b the gr8 politicians r gonna dump em into pakistan ... j/k neways ... insted of talkin abt all this y dont u make a simple job make every one of ur friends to put the junk in a dustbin only ... and if possible make em spread the thought .. kinda difficult but its a start
cheers
