Re: Re: [MTC Global] RE: India a view point

Dear Sir, A truly ugly picture is painted by the western media especially the
European Media. My question is if India is that bad, then why do business with
India? In fact doing business with such a country is to get infected with the
contagion of unethical practices. Such reporting, shades of the " gutter
inspector's report" is cynical in nature. Such reporting is meant for the
consumption of us Indians into reinforcing the familiar stereo types as belonging
to an inferior and decadent civilization. It important to realize that Indian
democracy has yet to find its real soul. I do not think that anywhere on the globe
or in past history has such an experiment been conducted as in our country.
We have to discover what a democracy can do to govern a huge landmass with a
diversity that one will not find anywhere. In the life a civilization, we are yet
to evolve our systems of governance that is responsive to the people and protect
its interests.
Old values from our troubled past are slowly turning useless. There is friction
and even violence and it is true that our leaders are completely clueless. The
British gave us the model of governance that is itself in disrepair ( beyond
repair). Some may even suggest anarchy and the powerlessness of the law
enforcement machinery.There is a silent churning and new elites are forming and
clashing with the old.
It is easy for our elites to turn cynical , for the thinking people it is easy to
despair, but this will not get us anywhere. In the final analysis it boils down to
what we as individuals can do by way of discharging our responsibility and perform
our duties fearlessly and diligently and not caring a damn.

has to remind the Govt quite often that it is the responsibility of the Govt to
exercise good governance.Policy paralysis,
indifference to people's problems, rampant corruption and absolute lack of
accountability of the political system have all contributed to this pathetic
situation. On top of all these things our country is lacking leadership and
credibility.
As a banker and economist I used to respect Dr.Manmohan Singh . Now I have
completely lost all hopes . PM has position but no power ( the power is defused by
players behind the scenes, who are conducting shadow government through remote
control) nor is he able to exercise influence in a positive way. The country is
currently going through a leadership crisis and lack of value systems.
The judiciary has done its job by enforcing NOTA ( people's right to reject the
candicates in election )and banning convicts from contesting in the elections. The
ball is now in people's court. It is not only our fundamental right to vote but
our duty towards the country to elect the right people. When all of us feel this
responsibility and exercise our votes in the right manner, then we can bring a
change in the system and accountability of the Govt to the people.We have to be
hopeful to see the light at the end of the tunnel ,though the tunnel may be too
long and keep working towards it by motivating the people around us.

regards,

DATTASubject: India a view pointjust pathetic!! can only rectify it with resolve
&time tested indian values!!! Subject: India a view point The German press has
savaged India's misgovernance. MOHAN MURTIThe Brussels-based European Commission
Standing Committee on Global Foreign Direct Investments last week listed the top
20
destinations the EU 27 will target for the next five years. Sadly, but for well-
known reasons, India does not figure in the list.Stocks of European Union direct
investments to the rest of the world amounted to €5.6 trillion at the end of 2012
and the EU continues to have a fixation with China. As for India, senior EU
officials noted with quite a bit of scepticism: "India is probably getting there,
but not quite arrived".An editorial in the highly circulated German
national newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine screamed:"India has never had it so
bad. Stealing in government has never been this brazen. Government officials are
now so audacious in their corrupt practices that they do not give a damn about who
is watching"."Supreme Court directives are routinely flouted. Crime rates are up
and security of life including women's safety, which is the first responsibility
of every government, is at its lowest ebb. India must then be more than qualified
to be called a failed state."In the Manager magazine, one of Germany's leading
glossy business journals, an article said: "Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
has a natural inclination to be a follower, not a leader. "DESPAIR AND
HOPELESSNESSThe article states, "India is a country where merit and integrity have
no value and the country continues to sink beneath the suffocating weight of
mediocrity and unrestrained, rampant greed. The majority of citizens feel excluded
and disrespected at all levels of their daily lives. The youth of the country that
make majority of the populace clearly feel helpless and many are pushed to take to
misdemeanour and
crime."FAILURE OF GOVERNANCEDer Spiegel wrotein an edit article recently: "While
the main functions of the parliament are to make laws and hold the executive
accountable through oversight, Indian lawmakers make very few laws, pass
incompetent motions and engage in rampant disruption of the proceedings."The
German business newspaper Handelsblatt wrote: "For India, it seems clear that the
hope of becoming one of the best twenty economies in the world will only remain a
daydream. Corruption is the bane of the society. The Government knows this and the
crusade against corruption is being handled with kid gloves."(The author is former
Europe Director, CII, and lives in Cologne, Germany.)(This article was published
