On another day, somebody on Fb forwarded to me a link of a 10 min video extract of a speech given by J.P.Narayan (founder of Lok Satta Movement in A.P.). While I haven't paid much attention to the details of the time and place and the occasion, on which he snapped in his speech in the round table conference, what really struck me at once was the fact that J.P. made a lot of sense. A few glib talkers have this duple quality of being precise and be reasonable.(e.g.Harsha Bhogle)
In that video, J.P. made a point where he mentioned about the present day election voting mechanism used by our election commission. While stressing on the inanity in persisting with the British-stylized voting system, he mentioned that even the brits have shown resistance to it. But, India remains unperturbed. This overhaul JUST doesn't matter to India.
We, and perhaps most of the nations, have blindly followed a few conceptions laid by a few dominant countries. E.g. the traffic rules, the education system, work cultures under the banner of PROFESSIONALISM (which in India is another word for intemperate and fucksome politics that is well backed up by cut throat competition and ever-getting-slender opportunities.) And the epitome of this exacting imitation is probably our LAW.
Our nation is now nicely supported by the Manufacturing sector for taking the nation towards realizing its goal (selected by one man and hardly followed by the rest) to become a developed nation by 2020. Yet, the manufacturing sector depends upon the systems prescribed by the oligarchic philosophies laid by the Americans and the Japanese. To be more correct, these systems have been conceptualized by the Americans, implemented first in Japan, and then followed by the rest nations and finally screwed up to its limits by China. (In China, there seems no batch or job productivity; there is only one basic system, MASS PRODUCTIVITY; to flood the world with MADE IN CHINA items.) Very few industrialists have ever really validated the REAL potential of the above productivity systems in the Indian scenario. Does TPS, JIT, TOC, Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, Pokayoke, 2 Bins, etc. really work here? Does it really have in it to take the indianness of the Indi-Mfg sector to the level where the Americans and the Japanese have been dwelling post the World War II?

Just came across this.
“ATITHI DEVO BHAVA!”
Our few cricketers and their captain did exactly the same to the Brit batsmen; with the same heartfelt gesture that it is seen in this picture on the face of our chachaji.
LATER.
