Dr. Sen is in jail because he raised his voice against Salwa Judum – an illegal private army created by the Chattisgarh state government which now even the Supreme Court has criticised, because he was protesting the forcible displacement of lakhs of tribals in the state in the name of development, because he exposed fake encounter killings by the police. To silence his tireless and fearless voice, the government has incarcerated him under the draconian CSPSA and UAPA – undemocratic laws which give almost unlimited powers to the police to arrest and put behind bars for years ordinary people! It is a part of the general attack on democratic rights taking place all over the country. It is related to the kind of development taking place all over the country in the name of globalization: The politicians, bureaucracy, police have launched a ferocious offensive on the lands, water and forests of the poor. They want to seize control of these means of livelihoods of the common people and transfer them to giant corporations – Indian and foreign – so that they can set up mining projects, mega industrial projects, SEZs, tourism projects, residential projects for the rich, and so on, and earn super profits. It has led to massive displacement of people and loss of their livelihoods. The people are obviously fighting back. And so, under all kinds of pretexts like fighting terrorism, the criminals and murderers who dominate the Indian Parliament are passing the most draconian laws which give almost unlimited powers to the police to arrest and put behind bars for years ordinary people! To raise awareness among the people about the kind of development in the country and the attack on human rights, Lokayat is organising a documentary festival on this Saturday. *Dr. Binayak Sen Film Festival* * * *Date: *Saturday, May 9, 2009 *Time: *5 - 8 pm *Venue:* Lokayat Hall, opp. Syndicate Bank, Law College Road, Near Nal Stop, Pune Entry is free.

Analysts say this would cheer markets as the coalition government would not need the support of leftist parties that have blocked liberal reforms and opposed foreign investment, particularly in the financial sector. Leftist parties had propped up the government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for four of its five years in power but they withdrew support after India signed a civilian nuclear deal with the United States despite protests from communist allies. Following are some analyst views: ALASTAIR NEWTON, SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST, NOMURA, LONDON: "We can now at least be hopeful that we're going to see a stable government that can push through some structural reforms without worrying about opposition from the left". "You can't detach India from the bigger picture of the global context. But we expect that if these reforms are put in place, then India can get to 10 percent growth over the next decade."* *Read Complete Report<http://investmentguruindia.com/HomeTS_Details.aspx?ID=574&PageID=1> ------------------------------ *ANALYST VIEW - Congress alliance set to win polls* The ruling Congress-led alliance was projected on Saturday to win a second term in office after a general election, according to vote counting trends from the election commission. Analysts say this would cheer markets as the coalition government would not need the support of leftist parties that have blocked liberal reforms and opposed foreign investment particularly in the financial sector. Following are some analyst views: SAMIR ARORA, FUND MANAGER, HELIOS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, SINGAPORE: "This is a dream for the market. You could not have thought of anything better than this. Get ready for a 7-8 percent rally in the stock market on Monday". "I don't expect them to do full-scale privatisation. On reforms, what they were prevented from doing last time around, this time they will not be. So expect them to start off with some financial services and stronger pension reforms."

"The Congress will continue to carry out extensive reforms, but it will not be at the cost of the public sector," Janardhan Dwivedi told reporters.

The election outcome could have a big impact on markets, depending on the final make-up of the government. On Thursday, stocks fell, the rupee weakened and bond yields rose on caution ahead of the release of official results at the weekend. Here are how Indian markets reacted to the past two elections.

"We will sit in the opposition," said Prakash Karat.

"The Congress has the biggest mandate," said senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley. "I think if Congress wants to compliment some of its leaders in this hour of victory, I think they're entitled to do so."

A government without the left, which seems to have fared badly in its stronghold in West Bengal, would be a boost to investors hoping for economic reforms in Congress' second term. "There is no compulsion for us to add a whole band of allies," Trade Minister Kamal Nath told Times Now TV channel, when asked whether Congress would ask the left for support.
