> While I am at a loss to understand how to do away with the values that govern this development paradigm, the least I can hope is that mainstreaming Dalits and Adivasis is going to seriously affect the 10% GDP growth (in any case, its not a true representative of growth of the people)
Did you mean in a positive way or negative way? I think it can affect only in a positive way, that is, the GDP growth will go beyond 10%, as more and more people participate in the economy, who were previously denied this opportunity. By the way, the 9% growth is widely inclusive, unlike what the Left would have us believe, but that is hardly sufficient. Take a look at this: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Opinion/Columnists/Swaminathan_A_Aiyar/Swaminomics/9_GDP_growth_is_widely_inclusive/articleshow/2144464.cms > This requires mass take-over of institutions, whether you do it through reservations or anything else. What do you mean by 'institutions'? Government institutions? Private industry? Private property? Whatever it is, this (mass takeover) is nothing but a prescription for disaster. The communists tried it, and the results are there for anybody to see. Zimbabwe is the latest example of what such social engineering experiments could achieve. Best regards, Murali.
