RE:Who is india Inc ?
by santanu sengupta on Apr 15, 2007 12:44 AM

I don't think anybody is happy about that. But the point is priorities, the ground reality is that India is a country where there are millions without proper food and basic amenities. What is the percentage of Indians below the poverty line as per world standards [ not by govt. of India standars pls ;-) ]? When was the last time you took a look at the UN's rating of India as regards health and primary education? Heard about what Amartya sen mentioned in the last science congress about lopsided development in India? Read what Stiglitz says in his book about mindless globalisation? Do you know where the major Indian cities stand vis-a-vis world pollution standards ? Tata and Bajaj are interested in profits quite naturally just as the common man are interested in putting food to his table.
Us the elite are a minority who are there to shape and guide the system to our greatest benefit and forget the poor , after all they are in the lingua franca of the new rich " a bunch of losers "
