Must Read - Thought Provoking:
I would like to sum up our performance in the 20th century in one sentence. Indians have
succeeded in countries ruled by whites, but failed in their own. This outcome would have
astonished leaders of our independence movement. They declared Indians were
kept down by white rule and could flourish only under self-rule. This seemed self-evident.
The harsh reality today is that Indians are succeeding brilliantly in countries ruled by whites,
but failing in India . They are flourishing in the USA and Britain .
But those that stay in India are pulled down by an outrageous system that fails to
reward merit or talent, fails to allow people and businesses to grow, and keeps real power
with netas, politicians, and assorted manipulators. Once Indians go to white-ruled countries,
they soar and conquer summits once occupied only by whites.
Rono Dutta has become head of United Airlines, the biggest airline in the world.
Had he stayed in India , he would have no chance in Indian Airlines. Even if the top job
there was given to him by some godfather, politicians and trade unionists would have ensured that
he could never run it like United Airlines. Vikram Pundit was head of Citigroup until recently,
which operates Citibank, one of the largest banks in the world.
Rana Talwar has become head of Standard Chartered Bank, one of the biggest
multinational banks in Britain , while still in his 40s. Had he been in India , he would
perhaps be a local manager in the State Bank, taking orders from politicians to give loans
to politically favored clients.
Lakhsmi Mittal has become the biggest steel baron in the world, with steel plants in
the US , Kazakhstan , Germany , Mexico , Trinidad and Indonesia . India 's socialist policies
reserved the domestic steel industry for the public sector. So Lakhsmi Mittal
went to Indonesia to run his family's first steel plant there. Once freed from the shackles of India ,
he conquered the world.
Subhash Chandra of Zee TV has become a global media king, one of the few to beat
Rupert Murdoch. He could never have risen had he been limited to India , which decreed
a TV monopoly for Indian company, Doordarshan. But technology came to
his aid: satellite TV made it possible for him to target India from Hong Kong . Once he
escaped Indian rules and soil, he soared.
You may not have heard of 48-year old Gururaj Deshpande. His communications company,
Sycamore, is currently valued by the US stock market at over $30 billion, making him perhaps
one of the richest Indians in the world. Had he remained in India, he would probably be
a politician in the Department of Telecommunications.
Arun Netravali has become president of Bell Labs, one of the biggest research and
development centers in the world with 30,000 inventions and several Nobel Prizes to its credit.
Had he been in India , he would probably be struggling in the middle cadre of Indian Telephone
Industries. Silicon Valley alone contains over 100,000 Indian millionaires.

Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi has been the CEO of PepsiCo Inc. since 2006, a Fortune 500 company.
Sabeer Bhatia invented Hotmail and sold it to Microsoft for $ 400 million. Victor Menezes, born in
Pune in 1949, was number two in Citibank until late last year. Shailesh Mehta is CEO of Providian,
a top US financial services company. Also at or near the top are Rakesh Gangwal of US Air,
Jamshd Wadia of Arthur Andersen, and Aman Mehta of Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corp.
In Washington DC , the Indian CEO High Tech Council has no less than 200 members, all
high tech-chiefs. While Indians have soared, India has stagnated. At independence India was
the most advanced of all colonies, with the best prospects.
Today with a GNP per head of $370, it occupies a lowly 177th position among 209 countries
of the world. But poverty is by no means the only or main problem. India ranks near the bottom
in the United Nation's Human Development Index, but high up in Transparency International's
Corruption Index.
The politician-raj brought in by socialist policies is only one reason for India 's failure.
The more sordid reason is the rule-based society we inherited from the British Raj is today in tatters.
Instead money, muscle and influence matter most.
At independence we were justly proud of our politicians. Today we regard them as
scoundrels and criminals. They have created a jungle of laws in the holy name of socialism,
and used these to line their pockets and create patronage networks. No influential
crook suffers. The Mafia flourish unhindered because they have political links.
The sons of police officers believe they have a license to rape and kill. Talent cannot
take you far amidst such bad governance. We are reverting to our ancient feudal system
where no rules applied to the powerful. The British Raj brought in abstract concepts
of justice for all, equality before the law. These were maintained in the early years of
independence. But sixty years later, citizens wail that India is a lawless land where no
rules are obeyed.
I have heard of an IAS probationer at the Delhi training academy pointing out that in
India before the British came, making money and distributing favors to relatives was not
considered a perversion of power, it was the very rationale of power. A feudal official
had a duty to enrich his family and caste.
Then the British came and imposed a new ethical code on officials. But, he asked,
why should we continue to choose British customs over Indian ones now that we are independent?
The lack of transparent rules, properly enforced, is a major reason why talented Indians
cannot rise in India . A second reason is the politician-raj, which remains intact despite
supposed liberalization. But once talented Indians go to rule-based societies in the west,
they take off. In those societies all people play by the same rules, all have freedom to
innovate without being strangled by regulations.
This, then, is why Indians succeed in countries ruled by Non-Indians, and fail in their own.
It is the saddest story of the century. Be Indian BUT Not in INDIA .
