I am presently working overseas. I am a chartered accountant, who tried to make a living in India years back, but left reluctantly to make a living overseas. I worked in Kerala and as you might have guessed that govt company is closed by union action for many years. It is one of almost all.
Believe it ot not, 90% of all the senior managers' time was spent on putting out the fire, ie attending to labour actions on the flimsiest of grounds. They even went to the extent of trying to finish off the MD and yours faithfully was in the car. Though not a target, I escaped with injuries. I was later taunted in the court by total strangers when the case was called up. Though nobody died, it would not have matterd anyway.
I have watched from close quarters how our leftists work. They are no different from others, as I remember one leader twisted the arm of MD to get his brother a job.
I cannot understand how we are going to solve our energy problems while the Chinese communists are so practical to host Olympics, year end Tennis Masters etc. They have the full range of American capitalist icons even in Tianamen Square and in the heart of Beijing.
