Good for him - let's hope that Coca Cola are stupid enough to sue him
The depletion of water supplies to facilitate the manufacture of their
disgusting 'cola' is a scandal - but, sadly, just another example of the
contempt in which major corporations (many of them American ones) hold the
Indian population.
Remember the Union Carbide debacle at Bhopal? - 60,00 killed and injured
because Union Carbide didn't maintain their plant as stringently as they
would have been forced to if it had been operating in a 'developed' country.
Which, of course, is why Union Carbide were in Bhopal in the first place.
Now we have Coca-Cola (surely, one of *the* most useless and unnecessary
companies on earth) inflicting drought on Indian peasants in the name of
profit.
Shades of 'McLibel' - although it must be pointed out that McDonalds *were
not* responsible for the murders of Amazonian Indians by Ranchers who wanted
to use their land to graze cattle that would later be sold to the grotesque
Clown - after all, their extremely high priced Lawyer said that they
weren't..
