Yes, I ...@prmodbiligiri<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. <br />Yes, I think you have joined the dots well and the speaker and the content :)<br /><br />One lesson that I have learnt in my recent trips to the more remote parts of India is that "progressive" journals are not worth the glossy paper that they are printed on. <br /><br />Appreciate your point on Afghanisthan. <br />AWhat's in a name?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09497136907261985456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-78388141880717188592010-03-14T22:34:11.635+05:302010-03-14T22:34:11.635+05:30Hey, I was one of the people who met you at an eve...Hey, I was one of the people who met you at an event in Christ College last month. I think I know who you are referring to in this blog post.<br /><br />I agree that sometimes people who espouse free markets in India turn out to be neocons in their overall outlook. The current Indian involvement in Afghanistan is a case in point.<br /><br />Btw I have listened to Shabnam Virmani at Fireflies for 2 years and loved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-3081323411053987192010-02-24T16:27:04.242+05:302010-02-24T16:27:04.242+05:30Thank you Bala,will myself think of a few leadersh...Thank you Bala,will myself think of a few leadership qualities.deiciderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663837541342343608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-52612795924398417042010-02-24T16:12:22.431+05:302010-02-24T16:12:22.431+05:30@decider
Thanks for the comments.
Agree with yo...@decider<br /><br />Thanks for the comments. <br /><br />Agree with you on the sentiment around privatization. Thank you for the endorsement!<br /><br />To the second part of your comment...<br />i) To be honest, I think I only have the question around the need for political leadership and probably do not have the best answer.<br />ii) That said, it worth a post. The right wing is talking about it. An earnest critique of the leadership options offered by the mainstream political parties in parliament may throw up the answer. i.e. - I accept the challenge and you should see a post in a few days :-). <br />Thanks once again for the comments.What's in a name?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09497136907261985456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-90697205466324698382010-02-24T11:12:33.190+05:302010-02-24T11:12:33.190+05:30A small post but a very thought provoking one.So m...A small post but a very thought provoking one.So many issues have been tackled in one brush stroke of a piece.I guess people these days have a common perception of accepting a point of view that is different rather than thinking what its far reaching consequences can be."Privatization" is one such issue ,but the common man ,who is generally frustrated with the casual approach with which government servants handle public affairs,longs for the efficiency of privatized companies.He fails to see that privatization may lead to polarization of the markets which in turn will effect every single person as the balance of power will be tilted heavily towards those who control our economy.I am not pretending that the situation right now is much different but at least there is a chance of representation of all players in the current economic scenario.<br />About the leadership in Indian economic and political spectrum,could you please do an article or a short write up in what kind of leaders we need right now,because I am thoroughly confused at this point of time just like the rest of the Indian youth who depend on study and reflection as to what indeed we should look for when we vote.Since we donot have much knowledge we keep on pointing back to ideas of leadership that are prevelant in India today and in extension keep oh hanging on to our leaders.deiciderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663837541342343608noreply@blogger.com
