What would it really take for India to reclaim its growth story? Here’s our hypothesis: For several decades now, business and economics have been viewed through a very New Delhi-centric prism. How the Central government managed its affairs was the only thing that mattered in national discourse. We believe there is an immediate need to change that. Else, we could miss a big inflection in our economic history.

Interesting read, sir. But, I will bring it down to the basics. The VERY basics. Independence by rebel not by constitutional harmony. Men enslaves other men, cold harded fact. The problem with the rebel is that the strongest rebels comes up to be the ruler of the other rebels and who turns that? the bullies and goons. Such was our independence by the rebels which is why this country is run by sophisticated goons. It is not about being on which side, the right side or the left, it is all about being on the winning side thus, sidelining an edge between the two extremes, which is why, the people in middle, who aspire to come up, have to struggle more than what the intensity should be, resulting in more shrewed behavior than appropriate. Bottomline of the states which you mentioned is, the people. It is the people who are rising up, thanks to the ruling 'monarch'. It jots down to one thing, you become the one whom you follow. Teaching a lesson about making the right choices, every 5 years :)
