No questions SEZ & the economics are here to stay.
What I'm pointing out is that the Govt. is acting like a mafia and creating conditions which will make ordinary people view maoisim as a solution. That is what happened in Nepal. The king grabbed absoloute power with bad deliverty of service. The people began to believe that the Maoists were saviours.
What we need is efficient delivery of services by the Govt. - a la singapore. Having lived overseas I can vouch for the fact that things work there and are much more efficient than in India. Indeed - SEZ's will TRANSFORM India. In fact - if even one State in India makes an entire district (preferably a coastal district with a port) an SEZ; with good law and order and excellent administration - I GUARANTEE you that in 25 years - that district will beat Delhi & Bombay COMBINED. Why?? Beause it will have created conditions for enterprise to flourish.
Instead - we are now ruled by robber barrons in the guise of politicians; who are getting away with murder.
In the 60th Anniversary of India's Independence - we need to reflect if Nandigram and all that is represents is what the freedom struggle from the Raj was all about.
Are we creating the conditions for building a Singapore?? Or are we creating conditions which will end up like Nepal - (with active support from China, Pakistan and Bangaldesh!!)
Do reflect. My fellow country man. You have as much stake in this county as I have.
