Article Abstract:

Amit Srivastava, an activist from California, is using the Internet to spread information about the Coca-Cola Co. in India. The soft drink giant is accused of poisoning land, stealing water and selling pesticide ladened drinks. A $16 million Coke bottling plant was shut down in Kerala, March 2004 over a still unproven case by Indian activists and local residents that it drained and polluted the local water supply.
