dang.... i smell a rat.. is it possible nath, and the rest of congress have been bribed over by walmart and co, to ratify this bill??
cos till yesterday they were against it.
even iim professors are against it.
cpim with their increased clout at the centre was against it.
and now a U-turn.
it will ruin the small-time retail chains of india.
it will also rob indian players both private and public (the govt could do this too - in south east easian countries the govts run very brisk retail chains - a ration outlet like chain without ofcourse the charity bit) the chance of producing a few big corporate entities from the retail sector.
now the only way we will be able to turn things around is by using walmart and target a as a conduit - by ensuring that indian goods fight for shelf space with chinese goods in all western walmart outlets.
