Each Prant automatically Inherits all moving/Stationed lives and properties as
their own lives and property. These will behave as Sovereign Nations within
the New India Federation NIF sitting in an Enclave comprising Rashtrapati
Gardens/Bhawan,Parliment House ,Chanakyapuri with PRANTS properties and
Foreign Missions' properties plus IGI AIRPORT.
Movements of people in/outward will be ALLOWED by Prants within their own
just rules .
Those leaving for other Prants will be facilitated by host Prants to carry
out bona-fide Cash and property .
Prants will have no more (feudalistic /otherwise)control from Delhi .
However ,advice(Soviet) will be available from NIF.
Prants will continue to send physically 2 men and 2 women as their
representative in always- working INDIA Parliament IP . IP will represent all
Prants in UN under advice from PRANTs .PRANTswill pay equally for upkeep/costs
of NIF/IP
These 2+2 persons will change over every 6 months or earlier.
They will sit and formulate Advice(Soviet) ad-hoc or as new databank.
Economy/Currency/Government/Communication -internally /worldwide/inter PRANT--
will be arranged by Prants directly with ITU and various UN-affiliate bodies or
as Sovereign nations with others .
Open Sky/Open Sea/Riparian relations with other PRANTS/Nations will be PRANTs'
lookout .India Parliament will be kept informed. Indebtedness by/to a PRANT

The fact that there is free enterprise in India in businesses like cell phone
,cars and information technology, itself tells you that the political systems
are changing and paradigms are being broken.
I agree India is not yet at the point where impatient netters want her to be
but think of all the impediments against progress. It is amazing that the trend
of India's progress is steadily upward by all counts.
If someone has a magic formula to fix India's problems in an instant, I am sure
GOI would be willing to listen. We would also be interested in hearing it
firsthand.

I do not take issue with the proven efficacy of REAL competition and FREE

tell the world they are no push-overs as far as modernity is involved, the
nuances of the REAL and the FREE takes on huge importance. One only needs to
look at the ENRON saga. Are there Enron like goings on in the cellphone
industry in Assam? I don't know. But from the comments I heard from users from
Guahati to Dibrugarh to Namti to Tawang--I have to suspect there is.
The fact of Dhubri's or Guahati's or Namti's lack of paved roads, reliable
electricity or potable water or sanitation systems and the governments' failure
that it points to ought not to be issues to be forgotten or
explained away as mere ideology rooted failure of governance and thus implied
that it could be all remedied by the 'free market gods' is where the fallacy
is.
That Indian governance is dysfunctional has little to do with ideological
hang-ups but everything to do with deeply faulty systemic and institutional
structures that Indian intelligentsia has neither been aware of nor have been
willing to tackle.

But they have achieved to provide at least rudimentary service in 5/6 years of
operation (in cell phones) which government failed to provide for (take
electricity) in last 60 years.
My village in Dhubri district does not yet have regular electricity, paved
roads and clean water supply (we rely on wells) after 60 years but does receive
NextTel cell phone signals.
People who never had land phone lines had cell phones as the first phone.

As an addendum to my previous response on the matter of the quality of private
services as in cell-phone, I would be remiss if I did not share what I heard
during my recent trip to Assam:
*** That service is uniformly bad thruout Assam. And the worst is the darling
of the private enterprise
advocates: Reliance; so much so that there was some kind of a 'Bandh' against
purported Reliance deceit of consumers.
I was loaned a cellphone from a new service provider by a relative, which,
amazingly worked from my native village at remote Namti, but would not work
from some of Guahati's most important localities such as Beltola and Rajgarh.
*** Most surprisingly the cell phone service that generally is acknowledged to
be the most reliable across Assam is that provided by the Indian Govt. operated
BSNL, but at a cost. Apparently it is the most expensive of cell phone services.
So much for the conventional wisdom about public vs. private enterprise in
India, specifically as it relates to cell phone service in Assam.
