Reality checks on growth by Mr Rajwade

There is plenty of news now-a-days and hence we tend to ignore. However, a news paper like Business Standard publishes a post (A V Rajwade: Reality checks on growth - Environmental fundamentalism is proving a major hurdle to economic development in India), It is sure to attract and that too on a topic like Environment. While there is no need to get emotional on this kind of articles, I felt somehow, the columnist missed a serious point, hence, wanted to point out.


A human being lives for some specific time period. ignoring the philosophical thoughts here, we know that many do not live to see what they started when they start on a big scale. I am sure Jamshedji would be feeling bad that Mr Ratan Tata has tried to cash in on weaknesses of so called middle class (who want to copy by having two or three cars), by introducing nano car. Instead of selling this to a common man who can afford big cars, the cars are being sold by well off people. Now, we wonder who the common man...even woman, is. Ultimately, this car only helps to clog the existing roads.
