agreed. India really needs to devise reforms to curb corruption in the civil/public sector, there by increasing political will for larger economic strides toward deregulation of certain public markets.
Quoted: Failure to reform a bloated civil service is putting the country's huge economic achievements at risk

not cool, not cool at all.
Quoted: Clothing retailer Gap Inc. said Sunday that it will convene all of its Indian suppliers to "forcefully reiterate" its prohibition on child labor after a British newspaper found children as young as 10 making Gap clothes at a sweatshop in New Delhi.

Quoted: There is a saying that the only way to discover the real India is by taking a train journey... Over the past year Indian Railways has generated profits of $4.5bn - double that of India's largest private company, Reliance Industries.
<--- that looks classier than an Amtrak! But seriously, glad to see that deregulation of the Indian aviation industry is having such exciting, positive effect on the Indian railway. I agree with the article in that the Indian railway is the "lifeline" of the country, and still truly the best way not only to commute in India, but also travel as a tourist. I love riding on trains every time i visit India.
PS--Investors, check out Indian Railways...maybe a good sector/entity to invest in? They are kind of taking that Japanese operations approach Lohia was discussing yesterday, in that they are improving on their existing strenghths, such as creating more freight trains between heavily commercial/industrial cities in India, and tapping in on the shipping industry...small changes make a big difference here too! here's your next case study, investment club :)

Quoted: Economist Kaushik Basu looks at how changing demographics might affect India in years to come.
Great article about India's "dependency ratio" and growth of it's working class in the next 30 yrs...anticipated to be one of largest in the world. The pyramid scheme of India's social structure will certainly begin to resemble more of a "diamond" shape with increasing middle class.

Quoted: If ever a country needed a vote of confidence, India did last week. A plunge in stocks listed on Bombay's main market index continued, vaporizing some $87 billion in investor wealth in just four days and raising doubts about the sustainability of India's boom. But then came a spot of cheer: IBM—which already has 43,000 workers in India—announced plans to invest a further $6 billion there over the next three years.
nice article, though it's a year old
