You are right BK.
People, professionals, most of us 'probaxi Oxomiyas in the west,
won't risk their life's savings to go invest in an environment where
there is no accountability, no trust in governance and its
institutions, even if they had a little to spare.
I raised a question here in Assam Net sometime back after seeing
the report that the UK's second or third largest FDI is from India, on
why it is so, while India is seeking FDI from around the world? My ol'
buddy Dilip Deka tried to explain with some spinning :-),and avoiding
the obvious but it did not explain anything.
Recently I asked the question of the Indian Embassy First Secy.,
Mr. Jaswal, an articulate and refined gentleman, whom I had the
opportunity to sit with for a few minutes in a reception here in St.
Louis. He seemed unaware of it and was momentarily taken aback. Then
he said that it is probably because of an easier business environment.
I was going to quiz him a bit more on it, but he was rescued by an
interruption and I could not follow up :-).

>>>There are many members in this list , settled in the USA, UK etc., who are millionnaires. I wish some of them would get together and make an effort to open one in Guwahati / Assam. The Govt will only be too willing to help them.<<<
I don't think there are many millionaires in UK or USA as suggested. I agree they could be small investors. However, people have lost confidence on Assam Government offcials' efficiency in such matters.
I expect people to disagree with me on my submission. At least that is my personal experience.
