All said and done there is no sovereign Republic on earth which has handed over administration to private parties. There will be blood shed because security at the air ports and at various other entry and exit points we cannot tell some private parties to do the work. US also doesnot allow this. Is there any party to check what is going through the courier and is not allowed by Indian posts? We can recommend only one thing to the government, that is to come out of running business enterprises. When all countries of the world support their farmers in the form of subsidy what is wrong if India allows it? Why should world leaders talk these matters about subsidies. Tommorrow the government may purchase nuclear power at Rs.6/= per watt and give it freee to people below poverty line. When we object and make fun of the government we should be grateful that 33% of the people who cannot get two square meals a day are keeping quiet but not looting as in Africa and other countries. Hunger can drive a person to do anything who has nothing to fear when he/she is a living dead without any attachments/ possessions in this world. This population is increasing day by day in this great nation where the poor are ready to do anything. We as people who are fortunate enough to use computers and internet should look at the lopsided development of 100 billioners who are almost richer than the world richest but with surrounding people having nothing to eat.

The visionaries see things from the grass-root level. Now we see things superficially. The leaders should realise that desires have no limit. Never try to fan it. It is destructive after a level. Ambani fight is the example. Here the government receive patronage from Ambanis. Actually it should have been other way round. Ambani's should read Mahabharata and the final war. In one sense it is a tragedy. (Material world) Projecting a rosy picture is the nature of rulers. Any development which does not include the lowest of the low income group is not a development.
Look at the change in postal service. It was very cheap and efficient in olden days. A letter was delivered the next day of posting within a state. Modern management made it a few days and expensive. Very soon the postal service will be for name sake and the courier services get a boost!!
Their will be media hike on privatization in every field. Because the media are owned and managed by the 'big houses'. The poor always look to the government for everything. Let the government be sympathetic to the poor. We need a reorientation of government's outlook. Let us remember our Father of the Nation and his vision. I do not criticise the reporter. Their duty is to show the disparities in the society to . Let them do that.
We discussed enough on n-deal. The government did not listen. The government is hellbent to make India a 'mango republic' and a grave yard of nuclear waste and a target for terrorists.

Mr.Nayak, good thought. A correction. The energy from this N-deal will cost at least Rs20/- a unit. It will double in every five years. Taking into account the decommissioning cost initial cost will be Rs40/-. Remember the cost projected for ENRON in Bombay and the real cost. Learn from experience.

Even the middle class will not be able to purchase power at Rs.40/- per unit.That means more people will have to be subsidized and the US businessmen will raise their eyebrows as to how to sell power at a cheaper rate to Umpty and Dumpty as per the government wishes.

Have you heard of an inflation of 2 million % prevailing in a country? I do not want to name it. It is not real. It is artificially created. It can be created in India after one or two decade. Not 2 millions!!
