Is India adrift?

Tis is not about politics. I am talking economics.  Instability in economy is rocking the West and causing more than a ripple in the East.

On 4 September 1888, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi traveled to London, England, to study law at University College London to train as a barrister. Gandhi was called to the bar on 10 June 1891. Anna says, “Foreign education” of the PM and Kapil Sibal is hindering their understanding of the Nation. As an Indian who wants to eradicate corruption in public and private life (as in a percentage in black for your new house), how am I supposed to interpret this statement? What is good for Ram need not be good for Lakhan as well. As a corollary Ram was a good king but he was a bad husband. Lakhan was a good brother but he would have failed as an independent leader as he was prone to look over his shoulders now and then. An excellent foreman is not automatically an efficient manager.

This is equally true for Anna and Manmohan Singh. It is obvious that Anna is confused without advise which I suspect comes to him in incoherent spurts. It is also true that for whatever reasons (certainly not lack of education) MMS has been an ineffective PM. If the congress party had left economy to MMS and taken care of the non existent governance, Indian economy would now have been in a position to dictate.

Is India adrift?
