At least in this case ,(kindly follow the link below) 'modern knowledge' and its application (in all spheres) are the tormentors of the weaker sections of society. The hunger of MNC's for profits and resources,and the means adopted to quench it, with tacit approval of the governments, will make life miserable for ordinary citizens.(all over the globe). This will continue unabated unless the theory & application of 'modern knowledge base' is exposed, and shown to be bereft of human values.
"The team quoted a Dalit woman as saying, “This is our only land, even though we have no land rights. If you take away our land we will die. You should tell the government: ‘Don’t take away our land. You are trying to frighten us with bullets and guns. We have already taken a lot of bullets like [the incident] at Balitutha Bridge. I was hit and people had to pick me up and bring me back. When the police started firing we couldn’t find any way to escape. We had to jump into the water and even then they kept on firing.”
