What is really holding India back?

[Kadamba]

I will have to accept with you, but it is not uncontrollable as this one has a top down approach. There is a saying in Hindi or Sanskrit or whatever "Yadha Raaja, tadha Prajaa" (translation "the subjects are the same as the ruler"). So once the top cream is quashed or controlled they will make sure nothing flows under them.

Exactly.

Problem is, many people are still stuck in that age old concept, and believe that they are still Prajas (subjects) and some Raja (ruler) will come out of nowhere and do all good for them.

Majority still haven't realized that role reversal has happened in 1950 Jan 26 itself. (Sooner they realise what they will get from their Rajas, Kalmadi's and Yedurapas, its better for them ).

 

[Skull and Bones]

There was a very good article by an Indian dissecting India's growth. One of the claims was that Indian industry is dominated by a handful of tightly owned huge companies which immediately quash new entrants.

Isn't that the story everywhere?
