Its better to fix all these things into privation....

No corruption.....Then government employees understand that what is work...and talent ....qualification.....deadline jobs etc...

but the private concerned has to controlled by the government... for legal and ...justice...

:unsure: :huh: :dry: :blink: Not sure what you mean exactly!
Actually India tried to follow a concept of 'Mixed economy' in the early decades in a situation when no private initiative was forthcoming.All our heavy industries came up during this phase and fulfilled a particular need of that hour to become a happy-hunting-ground for corrupt politicians,dishonest babus and other rent-seeking sections. Professionalism has been completely absent to turn many of them sick.

Nehru started off with some kind of a vision which went for a toss soon enough.The much hyped five year plan materialised only in bits and pieces , so we have a history of economic mismanagement in our country ..of course the situation has only worsened over the years..
No i don't think so that everything should be made private.
If we do it,then what the need of Government?


In US every thing is in private sector apart defense, home security and health! Do you think they are doing worse than us? I am in favor of privatization.


Privatization is good. I don't say its not good. For Example the infrastructure we are looking in our country,it is just because of the takeover of the Private Companies.

Yes ,even roads that have been given to private construction companies are far better than the ones constructed through government contractors..

The only answer is give every thing to private sector. Government is to keep a vigil and make policies not managing hotels and selling services. They should look the welfare part of the public only. Now if they are selling liquor at one hand and advertising against its use...inn't that ridiculous?

That would be the wisest thing to do, but the left parties would never let any government do that, so we have part privatisation of power oil and communication systems...
No need to privatize government industry........If government industries are in loss no matter you get your salary........But in private industry.You can be separated from this industry too........
I think privatization is very good option. :blush: :blush: :blush:

That is looking at the workers safety only ! A government concern is making losses specifically because of this .There is no accountability and losses are borne by us , the general public in the form of increased taxes and rates ..
Yes I think it is necessary to transfer most of the government industries into private.
No, already the petrol price are gone out of control.If the government industries privatized it is become big problem to survive.The prices are uncontrollable .:(:(

I dont think the petrol prices are going up because of privatisation, it is because of increased taxes by the government also the impact of a weak Rupee against the international currencies especially US dollar !

Yes, what Nehru had envisioned was something that could have worked, but for lack of honest and efficient leaders with a foresight and intelligence, it all resulted into what we see now. Mere tatters of what should have been an entire picture. The problem was the core-level corruption within the congress party itself!

That and the subsidies given to oil companies for a long time even at the cost of huge deficits! Had the subsidies been curbed or reduced in the initial stages, the hike in the prices would not have been so obvious now. Now it is only inevitable that they should rise!

Very very true ! Congress ,especially after Indira Gandhi came into power institutionalised corruption at every level..
The sad reality is that any talk of corruption invariably brings up the name of Gandhi family and people used to believe that its absence would make the land corruption free but our experiences show that it is too simplistic a belief. Other families have upstaged this family many more times!

exactly, and the worst part is that Congress was riddled with internal corruption when Jawarharlal Nehru was heading it, even Mahatma Gandhi wanted him to dissolve the party immediately after gaining independence or at least oust those who were involved in the corruption, but Nehru turned a blind eye to it all for his own selfish reasons!

Yes but the other families haven't been able to remain in power for long, each time, it is again reverted back to the Gandhis!
Many top Congress party leaders openly say that they cannot think beyond Gandhis and that's how it is going to be ! Sonia Gandhi soon after Rajeev Gandhi's death was reluctant in the beginning to take over or at least that's how it looked, but see the way the congress men pulled her in..
