You are wrong and did not read your own post.Originally Posted by permasculptor
You are reporting an article from the state that banned GMO from being used in India as I understand it. In addition the "signing campaign" (mentioned in your link) if you had watched the first video, the Indian man is quoted, "No, there was nothing on the paper (from Monsanto) they just had us sign and date a blank piece of paper."several statements in Parliament to confirm that action would be initiated as a collective effort of the National Biodiversity Authority and State Biodiversity Boards (in addition to Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh Boards also needed to take action as Monsanto, Mahyco and others had accessed native brinjal varieties from all these regions without appropriate permissions.
However, I will say this, both news stories came out on the same day & I do not believe your source because it seems to contradict itself a lot.

I will believe it when I see it happen.

42 seconds in on the main video, "...have been prosecuted for stealing Brinjal"
Roughly @ 1:05 "..Leo Soldana filed the complaint that has lead to India charging American Agricultural giant Monsanto."

Didn't India defy Britan when they made salt illegal to process? If so this is basically the same thing, stealing nature for corp gain which should tear open old wounds. Now their fighting the spirit of Gandi
In the end, we all work for ourselves.
That's a scary thought. The man might of fought for peace with his life, but he did know when it was appropriate to pick up a rifle as well. Oh well, fighting karma is always a losing fight.
