I have no plan Mr Sarma but to have a hearty laugh, scan for the photos of the jet and read more about it.

CII person Sunil Munjal, Minister Aiyar attended the inaugural session. Would like to share an interesting mention! In an address on corporate responsibility on rural development, William Nanda of FabIndia bluntly said that the 'theka' of development is taken by the government. Business pay the taxes as asked by the government, so pestering and hankering the business to pitch in more than that is like government is trying to evade its responsibility. Actually there is enough money allocated for the rural development, rural roads, rural employment guarantee etc. The main problem is the highly porous and leaky structure. The root cause is poor governance, not the profiteering business. Entrepreneurs are in the business of making money. It does that within the ambit of the laws, tax regimes laid down by the people's representatives. Being highly rational and opportunistic, they definitely take advantage of the gullibility of the system to corner all possible opportunities and maximize their profit. -mkd From: "Himendra Thakur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Manoj Das" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat Nov 3, 2007 8:56 pm Subject: Re: Ambani's gift Dear Mrinal, I thank you for this letter. It is a matter of great hope that young people are seeing the light whereas crafty economists like Amartya Sen and his followers in the Government of India are dispensing dark tricks from an obsolete system of greed, cruelty and meanness . Please don't worry that 'It is his money an apparently we should have nothing to say.' In fact, it is NOT his money and you have all rights to protest. This protest is not from communism, but from the first verse of Isha Upanishad that declared that everything belonged to Isha ---- one should run life only with whatever is left-over, said as 'tena tyaktena bhunjeethah' which became the central core of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. I presented this in my drama 'THE PORTRAIT OF MAHATMA GANDHI' that was highlighted at the Annual Conference of the Indian Association of Economists held in Shrinagar in the third week of October 2007. Unlike Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi believed in free enterprise, but ownership would belong to a Trust, dedicated to Lokasangraha, which meant wellbeing of everybody. Unfortunately, with all their ideological talks, Indian communists have failed again and again. In 1942, when India was agitating to grab independence from the British, the Indian Communists supported the British. Today, the Indian Communists are shooting peasants to snatch their cropland in support of capitalists like Tata, Ambani and the like. I appeal to the younger generation not to follow the self-annihilating example of Anil Ambani.

Therefore there's nothing more to say. Regards, Sandip
