one of the commentators says there are million of consumers who will be benifitted by the lowered(??) prices. but my dear citizens of india that will not last for a very long time but till there is no competition to the foriegn companies and thereafter the market will be in their controland let’s not forget the extent of corruption in the country. what can one do if they hyke the prices thereafter(as that is what they are going to do.) from that time, neither the small business man nor the consumer will be benifitted.

well this was the way when the british came in to india earlier and made the whole indians as their slaves. now the history may repeat, look at the strategy of the foriegn investors…. they put marginally huge amount of money and attract the consumers with impractical(not for them)discounts in the begining which obviously make the small scale business men loose their business. after a certain amount of time, they (foriegn companies)acquire the monoply. yes all this may appear as an “unneccessary fear ” to the common man or a typical consumer now, but that is what going to be happened. and remember there are no morew “gandhis” in this country to fight for the selfish and irresponsible people.

Ok, I have had to delete a bunch of absolute trash from Bonapert. I am not banning Bonapert yet, but I will if s/he posts anymore trash on here.

Please, folks, keep your comments to the point. One good thing about this blog is the generally excellent quality of commenters. Please don’t ruin it. You can criticize posts all you want, but keep it civil and keep it to the point.

Bonapert, (while I am not sure I want to get into this) how are all the issues that you raise – some very real (especially about rural poverty) and some the same old Ms. Roy’s conspiracy nonsense – are improved/changed by allowing mostly middle class Indians (I would think) choice on where they want to shop? Trashing middle class around since the 60s for three decades, in the name of socialism, did not seem alleviate any of the issues you raise.

Bonapert..

Umm, what exactly is your point, and how is it connected to the blog post?

Not sure if I get it… assuming there’s one, of course…;-)

Bonapert makes the same old argument. In the name of helping the poor, the argument of protectionists is always about protecting businesses (ie producers) from competition and not for consumers and low prices. It’s a strange phenomenon that occurs everywhere and doesn’t seem to go away.
