It may be continue, its depends on public. Some unsocial elements may be misuse this facility. Railway must be add some system so unsocial elements will traced in time and punished.
Railways are going for many revolutionary changes. It may take time. Public also should take part in in the changes in the system. Public and government participation will certainly contribute in bringing a change.
With out cooperation of public it is not possible for any government to do some thing. What can minister alone can do. Modi is launch program for cleanness. Modi can not come to clean. Public can keep clean their surrounding areas.

No company in the world introduces many wines everyday. Wine tasting is unlike tea tasting which is based on blending of different kinds of tea and taste them. No single produce however good in quality will taste good in its original form but it will have to be mixed with other produces even if from the same garden but blended in different way and developed differently.
Tea or wine, these are produced in batches. So taster is required to taste every batch of tea and wine.

There is a reason for the misconception prevailing in a common man here in India. Unscrupulous manufacturers are making fake products with the Label " Made in China."

Agreed. India is not able to compete because Indian private industry is family owned and they are happy at small levels. The PM sometime back called the industrialists with traders mentality. Innovation and risk taking is avoided and they are happy in assured relatively small profits. They all the time want funds at low interests. Of course govt. policies also play a part. But China is communist politically and capitalist economically.

Wine tasters can earn from Rs 25000 to Rs 1 lakh per month depending on experience and skill in India. Not a bad proposition but openings will be few.

There is no doubt about the misconception of common Indians that China makes only inferior items. But the fact is, China caters for all type of consumers. This is we the Indians get what we order for. If you visit countries with good paying capacity and totally dependent on Chinese products and will not survive if they do not trade with China. China sells some of the best electrical/electronic items for them. Beside, the Chines quality food products are also economical and available in many developed countries in top class quality.

I agree with you. Chinese products sold abroad like the USA and European markets are of very high quality. The quality consciousness over there is absent in India. We see the cost aspect alone without bothering about Quality. Seeing this weakness, unscrupulous business men resort to selling the Products with the label " Made in China." They are manufactured in India.

And the said library to have all the listed 8 books in pirated copies is beyond my imagination !
I actually used to buy pirated books way way back when I could not afford proper books, but that was the time when I had no knowledge whatsoever of intellectual property rights, copyrights and so on. Later on when I came to know about the pirated books and the economy behind it, the losses to original authors, I stopped buying them and simply joined a library. Now, I can buy books as many times as I like so no need for me to look for banned copies. But believe me when I say that pirated books business is a roaring trade but I cannot comment on whether they include the banned books, but after reading your thread, I will certainly look in on a couple of bookstalls I pass by every day. They sell mostly pirated books, I will try to find out if they sell these ones.
Pirated books have always been there and I am sure all book lovers know of it and I too have and even now buy novels since they are so much cheaper..Of course there is the legal copy right issue ! But here I was wondering whether people would pay money to a librarian to read pirated copies as claimed by Rambabu ...

The Chinese goods that are sold in America and Europe are of a very high quality at low prices because the customers there are quality conscious and can also pay. Also Chinese make a very large variety of goods in large volumes which gives them a large market to cater. They make solar energy products at such low prices that two pioneering companies in Germany existing from many years had to wind up. Because of these low equipment prices the solar generated power costs are being quoted in Indian tenders at Rs 4.62 paise per unit. So they help in technology adaptation by other countries also. Similarly in man made fibres like polyester, nylon etc they are world leaders in production capacities making it very difficult for others to compete. Surat industries in India are facing the heat.

Pirated Book Business is doing a booming Business since long. Even in the state owned Libraries are replete with Pirated Books. One easily find out if a Book is pirated or not. Like Ahmedabad , Hyderabad is also known for Pirated Books

Good that you corrected my mistake. I corrected accordingly

I have read and bought a few pirated books since the 1970's. Ahmedabad was supposed to be a big centre for printing pirated books. These days one can get latest books in pirated manner on e-mail in digital form. I got two books one on former PM and another on Sachin Tendulkar, sent by contacts who got them. It is foolish to ban books these days as they are available on websites easily.
