Increasing India's Exports.

The government is giving all incentives for export. These are entirely tax free. Duty drawback is also given as an incentives. If overall imports by certain countries are reduced, we can do nothing. But we need to see whether we compete well with other exporters. For example, India and China both export shoes. we should be able to compete.

The comparative advantage of China is its abundant cheap labour employed in large volume capacity industries. They produce cheaply but in mega volumes ,earn low profits but make up in numbers. It is not going to be easy to beat the Chinese in manufacturing. Question is what out of box thinking can the new govt do to boost exports as they were very critical of the outgoing govt. New areas need to be explored. Any suggestions?

If a system is applicable to China, it should be applicable to India also. Because India too has got that population advantage. Regarding cheap labor, India too has that advantage. Only thing we need is a result oriented export plans.

There is no doubt about the importance of increasing exports on a substantial level as we are still net importers. The relevant question is how to go about achieving it. For the last couple of years we have seen how policy paralysis can severely impact our economic prospects. Let us how things shape up under the new government.

Indian labour is also cheap but productivity is low because they are not provided with equivalent infrastructure. China has got perhaps today the cheapest but highly productive labour force which produces mind boggling outputs. They assemble more than 90% of the world's mobile sets for example. China has complimented its abundant cheap labour by allowing infusion of foreign capital in huge quantities. Together they have made China a manufacturing hub. One fear which the Chinese did not have was that FDI would wipe out local enterprises, for they just did not have them when they were truly Communist. Today they are not even pseudo Communists. India has to tread the invitation to FDI carefully so as not to hurt local industry. But the local industrialists do not think world scale andthus difficult to compete with cheap but quality Chinese products.

One cannot have the cake and eat it too. If you want to compete with China, provide what they were provided with. In the absence of this be satisfied with what you have. Wishful thinking will not yield results.

In that case India and Indians have to give up democracy and become a one party state and a regimented society like in China. Are we prepared - I think not at all. Less growth rate with freedom of our human rights is acceptable to high growth rate and no personal freedom.

I want result oriented system be it democracy or otherwise. What the democracy has done to the nation?

A unity with a plethora of diversities. This is not real unity .rather a pseudo unity.

A garden full of flowers of only one type is a pseudo garden. The real garden has flowers of many types,fragrances and shapes.

Where is the unity here? Variety is not unity.Dividing the country in the pretext of" easy administration" and fueling regional feelings is not unity.

We are culturally a diverse society and politically a united country. Let us come back to India's export enhancement possibilities.

Exports can be boosted only when our rulers realize the worth and rich resources existing under our very nose. Till then we will be importing even a Pin.

I already suggested. A Tanjore painting is unique in the sense that real gold is used to depict the theme. There is no such genre in the entire world. The middle men and private entrepreneur are making millions. Why it should not be developed ? Similarly Kalankari.
