Simple economics
by vikram dhawan on Apr 10, 2008 11:55 AM

If all the migrants in Maharashtra are thrown out of their Jobs(including me) and replaced by local Maharashtrians, it may not significantly alter the fortunes of Maharashtra as the jobs can be very easily outsourced from another states. Also, we can be spared expensive housing and dreadful traffic. But then the economy of an already bankrupt state like Maharashtra will collapse as the quantum of both direct and indirect Taxes and Tax-payers will fall significantly. We have seen similar happenings in countries like Zimbabwe where the economy collapsed when the government drove out migrants.
