Lots of ppl have voiced their opinions about China esp with rallies at their embassies around the world. However Indian’s Asia largest democracy was silent for quite some time until things got out of hand and violent photos surfaced.
This particular Indian company with $150 million to the Burmese junta has become very “jittery” http://www.mizzima.com/MizzimaNews/News/2007/Sep/102-Sep-2007.html.
Let’s give them more reasons to be - it takes 1 minute of your time to fill out a contact form to voice your protest against their business venture with the military here: http://www.ongcvidesh.com/online_form.asp
If enough people do this, in no time we may hear about their $150 million dollar withdrawal from Myanmar. We can make a difference NOW however please be courteous with your complaints and refrain from using bad words, despite the upsetting circumstances.
