The India I Dream Of
This is what I expect the government that gets elected would do for this country after the elections:
The government would free us to buy and sell at whatever time we choose to, with whomever we like, and from wherever we choose. All restrictions on imports, exports, and foreign exchange are lifted overnight.
Indians Are Not Blinking Idiots
This is an editorial by Mr. Rakesh Wadhwa in response to an article authored by Jug Suraiya and published on June 11, 2013 in the ‘Juggle Bandhi’ section of the Times of India. You may read the article here.
Rakesh Wadhwa. Ever since, I was a school boy, I knew India was on the wrong path. Socialism was just not what we needed to get ahead. Government controlled our travel; government controlled our ability to buy and sell; and government controlled our freedom to move our money. My life has focused on the inherent rights people have. When I was in college, I never understood, what the governments meant by their "socialistic attitude". If people are free to buy, sell and move their capital themselves without any restrictions by state, then the welfare of people is inevitable & hence the countries they live in will become wealthy. The government has no right whatsoever, to point a finger at me or my business. I am not a revolutionary. I just want to light up my cigarette and not get nagged about it. I believe in non-interfering attitude to attain more.
