Look at indian social and economic scenario. India's new developmental path predicts a neo-liberal utopia,majority of india's upwardly mobile middle class is in this romantic utopia. But,we are seeing the brutual living condition of india's poor.They are losing the even minimal safety nets of yester years.The new developmental citizenship of india reduces its citizens into a disposable people.What is this?Why don't you consider arjunsen gutpta's oficial report on unorganised sector?india has still control in its financial markets,other wise we might go the south asian way. The so called growth in india doesn't prevent chengara,nandigram,singur,kalinga nagar,muthanga.Why? --- Murali K Warier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
