A Kolkata commentator sees the good in gentrification: "Does gentrification improve the urban landscape to any extent? Yes, it does." Of course, the author fails to mention the collateral damage created by that landscaping job: poor people get evicted.
Another article in the Kolkata daily says that squatters, slum-lords and politicos form a "coalition of illegalities" and suggests that the squatters should not be given the right to vote.
And I thought India was a country noted for its tolerance.
