What’s Troubling India?
FDI is a fickle thing- it can turn on as fast as it is turned off. As pointed out by M. Patel, structural reforms and transparency, are more important. Granted India is not doing too well there right now but some states, led by Gujarat and its dynamic leadership, are showing promise, and consequently, parts of India are growing faster and smarter. Let's hope that the vote for development, rather than caste politics, in states like Bihar and Gujarat spreads further. In the long term, India will do better not to rely too much on central government and its 5 year plans.
