India’s Jobless Growth and The Two States of My Mind

India has always witnessed crony capitalism ever since it was formed. Corporates have thrived even in the past irrespective of what the Government has done.

Mandir Masjid and Justice

Let’s build a school there.   Let’s have a hospital there.   Let’s have a University there.   HELL NO !!!!   India was formed in 1947 when the Laws of India as a sovereign republic came into force.   What has or has not happened 100s of years before that has no bearing on…
