Wal-Mart, which symbolise
capitalistic enslavement for the Indians, seems to be dividing India, world’s
largest democracy, in the middle even as the Indian government is bravely defending
its decision to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
in Retail, a reform which opens a market worth billions of dollars the world’s
major chains are desperate to enter.
The controversy is based on the
perceived pros of the move, strongly supported by the government in need of
urgent foreign investment to cover its budget deficit and maintain the growth
rate of the country and the cons, put forth by an opportunistic and motley combine of communists, communal
parties and the women
chief ministers of three states with over 30% of India’s population, who have
no clue of the complexities of the issue or particular reason other than their
bloated egos to object the move, claiming the government is only fooling
people.
"To
give an impression that FDI in retail will solve all problems like inflation,
price rise and unemployment... whosoever is saying this is fooling people that
FDI will get millions of jobs. It cannot happen."
The political stalemate has stalled the winter session of the Indian parliament with no work done or bills discussed or passed for nine working days when the government is desperately trying to push its reform agenda, mired in controversies from scams to corruption and an array of adverse factors affecting national growth.
Now, even Anna
Hazare, the leading light for the new generation of India ,
blames that the government is using the political debate regarding FDI for
blocking his utopian demand for a super cop (Lokpal) to look over corrupt
politicians and judiciary of India
including its prime minister and Chief Justice.
Anna also joined the fray and accused
Wal-Mart of hidden agenda of colonising
India like the British East India Company did two centuries ago.
"If
people are saying it (FDI) should not happen, why are you insisting? The British
came to India to
trade and for 150 years, ruled us, enslaved us. Do you want to have a
repeat?" he told a press conference.
However his critics feel that
Anna Hazare, with a series of faux pas, is proving himself to be what he really
is, an old man with an archaic view of India
and the world, in a hurry to etch his name in history as the legitimate
follower of Mahatma Gandhi. Since he ended his controversial fasting till the
government and parliament accepted his demand to pass a bill installing the all
powerful Lokpal, he and his followers have suffered serious credibility deficit
and questions on their real motives.
It seems Anna’s comments on such
a complex issue are not based on economic considerations but simply made to lend
support to the elements obstructing the parliament from discussing and passing
his Lokpal bill, while he blames the government for it.
Supermarkets everywhere have
created problems but India ,
to claim its place as a leading G20 country, needs need to behave like one and
push for the benefits the government see in this vital reform.
The fact that Anna is just a
human like others has been exposed by his own off hand remarks about the slapping of his compatriot
and Indian minister Pawar. People become great by inherent goodness, not by
what others attribute to them.
