I am quoting from UPI:

The Govt. has formally taken over the 67.7 acres of land on which the
disputed temple-mosque site lies in Ayodhya, and is going to set up a
trust to decide how to construct a temple and a mosque there. Both
Hindu and Muslim leaders denounced the move.

The decision apparently sparked some dispute in the Cabinet, and was
proposed only after days of political and legal wrangling. The President
Dr. S.D. Sharma repeatedly sought clarifications from the PM before signing
the order confiscating the land for the state.

The order calls for matters relating to historical and legal facts are to
be referred to the Supreme Court for adjudication. The exact quote is:
``If at any time it appears to the president that a question of law or 
fact has arisen or is likely to arise which is of such a nature and of 
such public importance that it is expedient to obtain the opinion of the
Supreme Court, he may refer the question to the court for consideration 
and the court may after such hearings as it thinks fit, report to the 
president its opinion.''

This has been criticized by many jurists as well, notably Nani Palkhivala,
who voiced concern that the court is being dragged into a political and 
religious dispute that has little of law for examination. He said that a
court cannot be asked to adjudicate on questions of opinion, faith and
mythology (Ed: sort of like asking the Supreme Court to decide if the 
Immaculate Conception happened -- srinivas), and described the decision to
refer disputes to the Sc as "... wholly untenable from a legal viewpoint."

The proclamation came as new violence swept some of Bombay's slums again,
and 100 people were wounded and 9 killed.

________________________________________________________________________________

The Govt. has finally gone and done it. After years of being able to displease 
only ONE party at a time, they have worked hard with furrowed brows, serious
faces, put heart and soul into it and emerged with a plan that now displeases 
ALL parties and all at the same time too. Congragulations are surely in order.

Organization: University at Buffalo
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41

Since it seems as though I am the only Kashmiri sympathizer on this net, I have
the only obligation to defend what I think is right in terms of the freedom
movement in Kashmir. When wrongs are committed by the Mujaheddin, such as
misbehavior towards the minorities, or disrespect shown towards women, I have
always gone on record as condemning such behavior. It therefore seems only fair
that others too keep the same unjaundiced eyes when defending their side too. 

Unfortunately though, the critical reasoning used on this net is somewhat
lacking. Deb Chatterjee quotes Ed Gargan's NYT article when it comes to Javed
Mir's declaration of Pakistani support, yet calls the rest of the article a
"molestation of facts." Now is that really sensible? I have, from day one,
tried to keep Pakistan and it's affairs out of my postings, because I am a
firm believer in Kashmiris gaining their independence from both countries.
Whether I am called a JKLF supporter or whatever, I really do not care. I know
where my sympathies and loyalties lie, just as I am sure the  rest of you do
concerning your own loyalties and sympathies.

The creation of Dar-ul-Islams, as Mr.Chaterjee mentions ad nausean, are a
direct response to the growing communalism in the rest of India. The Ayodha
carnage is still very fresh, and just see how quiet Bombay, Ahmedabad and
Gujarat are these days. Can anybody tell me what the final numbers were in the
number of dead as a result of the mosque's destruction, broken down into Muslim
and Hindu casualties? What about those in the recent riots that are spreading
throughout India? 

KASHMIRIS HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN THE MOST SECULAR IN ALL OF THE SUBCONTINENT. I
have asked that I be disproven many times, yet I never get direct responses.
Kashmiri Muslims have protected the Pandit minority throughout history, and
the Hindus turned their backs on their Muslim brethren in their time of need.
If that is not enough to make previously secular people communal, I don't know
what is! 

Whatever the result of the carnage that is now Kashmir, I only hope that the
people get their vote. Independence, Pakistan, or India, it should be as they
want. But, and I never can tell what Mr. Chatterjee's views are on secularism,I
hope that it remains the tranquil, SECULAR, state/country that it once was.

INDIAN COMPANIES PLAN TO TRIPLE ALUMINA PRODUCTION

Reuters News Agency

BOMBAY - Indian companies are planning to more than triple the country's 
alumina output to exploit large bauxite reserves in the eastern state 
of Orissa.

	At least three big projects, all involving some form of foreign
collaboration or joint venture, are planned to eventually produce 2.9
million tonnes of alumina a year. Their total cost is estimated at $2.2
billion (U.S.).

	Production of the alumina - oxide used to make aluminum - is
expected to start from 1997 and will increase India's output to at least
4.2 million tonnes from the present level of 1.3 million, industry sources
said.

	The project will be export-oriented and will exploit reserves of
bauxite or aluminum ore in Orissa, which has about 1.5 billion tonnes of
India's estimated 2.9 billion tonnes of bauxite deposits.

	Indian Aluminum Co. Ltd., which is almost 40 per cent owned by
Alcan Aluminum Ltd. of Montreal, is planning a one-million-tonne plant,
drawing from the Baphimali deposit in Orissa.

	It has teamed up with Tata Industries, part of India's largest
business group. Industry sources estimate the investment at more than 20
billion rupees ($770-million).

	National Aluminum Co. (Nalco), India's largest producer of aluminum,
is planning a 900,000-tonne alumina refinery in collaboration with Hydro
Aluminum AS of Norway, according to Nalco chairman S.N. Johri. State-run
Nalco produced 672,000 tonnes of alumina in the year to March, 1992.

	The new refinery will require investment of about $800-million.

	L&T has discussed collaboration with several foreign companies, Mr.
Kasargod said. They include Aluminum Co. of America in Pittsburg, the
aluminum unit of France's Pechiney SA, and Schweizerische Aluminum AG
(Alusuisse) of Switzerland.

Keywords: Bangladesh Ayodhya March

apnews reports:
   DHOPAKHOLA, Bangladesh (AP) _ Police fired bullets at tens of
thousands of Muslim radicals who tried to storm the border with
India on Monday, killing at least five people and injuring more
than 100.
	   The Muslims wanted to march to the northern Indian town of
Ayodhya to rebuild a 16th-century mosque razed by Hindu
fundamentalists last month.
	   United News of Bangladesh said about 150,000 people took part in
the march. About 600 paramilitary policemen drove them back from
this village in western Bangladesh, about 7 miles from the border.
	   The Muslims, who gathered Sunday in Jessore, 15 miles from the
border, started walking at noon. On the way they overran three
barbed-wire barricades.
	   The marchers hurled stones as they recited verses from the
Koran, the Islamic holy book. The security forces retaliated with
tear gas and then live ammunition.
	   An Associated Press reporter saw one body lying on the road with
a bullet wound in the abdomen. Witnesses and United News of
Bangladesh said four more people were killed and about 100 were
injured.
	   ``I am prepared for any sacrifice to go Ayodhya to rebuild the
mosque,'' Abdur Razzaq said during the march. Others chanted an
Islamic slogan, ``La ilah il Allah,'' _ ``There is none other than
Allah.''
	   Jessore police superintendent Sajjad Hussain said security
forces opened fire in self-defense.
	   Anwarul Karim, a Muslim leader, said the gunfire was unprovoked.
He told reporters the protest will not be abandoned until the
mosque in India is rebuilt. He did not say if his supporters will
try to storm the border again.
	   The destruction of the Babri Masjid mosque in Ayodhya on Dec. 6
provoked widespread anti-Hindu attacks in this predominantly Muslim
nation in which seen people were killed and several temples and
Hindu-owned shops were destroyed. Hindus comprise 10 percent of
Bangladesh's 110 million people.
