When we are not the change -
Hindustan Times
The rise of an emerging economy like India is not pre-determined. It requires diligent policy innovation to maintain an economic gro-wth trajectory and constant debate to keep the political class focused on the future. If anything, history is littered with examples of countries who have even surpassed the growth figures India has notched up this past decade — and then squandered it away.

Verbatim |
 There was for years an old "social contract" between politicians and business. This provided for complex rules and regulations that made it impossible to do business honestly in many fields. But it was possible to do business dishonestly, through pay-offs . Some called this "efficient corruption" : politicians took money and delivered clearances. However, the anti-corruption mood of the courts, and new fears of getting caught (like Pawan Bansal) have ended "efficient corruption" . Politicians may still take money but not deliver on clearances , what some call "inefficient corruption" that freezes investment and growth. The old social contract has broken down.
