RE:Mahatma Manomohan brought Human Face Globalisation. For whom?

If you could for a moment forget your political affiliation and analyze the points you've put forth, maybe it won't seem so bad.

1) Retail Sector: We could hold on to our ideals for centuries, but the fact is that the cold war has been lost and we live in a world where the consumer is the king. Quality will survive only if there is competition, and if the intent of the left is to keep the competition out so that we can keep being mediocre, then I'm glad Wal-Mart will be here soon.

2) Education Sector: Look at the large gap between the number of applicants and number of admitted students (things will only get harder once reservation sets in). And yes, please don't give me how great IIT and IIM is...there are 300000 applicants for 3000 seats. Needless to mention, most colleges lack infrastructure and literate teachers. Again, competition forces quality. And no one is forcing you to join these universities. But what right have you to prevent those who want to do so from doing so? In fact - once those who can afford it go to these colleges, the people for whom your hearts bleed will probably hve a better chance of getting into one of the pre-existing colleges - which thanks to the sheer numbers, is a superhuman task today.

3) Pray, what problem have you with Israel? Unlike China, they haven't attacked you!
