Do they break his main argument?<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, the CMIE data that Salil is using is much stronger than the RBI measurement of investments.<BR/><BR/>Law and order in India is a serious problem. But it is also the case that 2000 people were not murdered in any city in a concentrated few days ever since the Delhi pogrom against Sikhs in 1984. So for all its problems, Bombay has a better record on safety, when compared with Gujarat, after 1948 and Delhi has a better record on safety, when compared with Gujarat, after 1985.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-15570154402605403662009-03-14T23:25:00.000+05:302009-03-14T23:25:00.000+05:30First of all, we have to question the factual accu...First of all, we have to question the factual accuracy of the Salil Tripathi article you refer to.<BR/>Here is a link to an economic times article which bases itself on an RBI studyon investments. http://www.articlearchives.com/economy-economic-indicators/economic-indicators/1830684-1.html<BR/> It says that Gujarat is a clear leader in number of rupees investment with other states being very distant laggards. However, in terms of number of projects implemented, Gujarat is number 4. So what is more important the number of projects or number of rupees invested?<BR/><BR/>Secondly, if law and order are a public good and Gujarat is a supposed laggard because of the isolated Post-Godhara riots that lasted for 2 days - who is the leader? Maharashtra with ongoing bullying by MNS of Biharis and UPites? Karnatak where women are assaulted and chased out of pubs? Andhra Pradesh where Naxalites rule? West Bengal which chased the Tatas out? UP? Bihar?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Come on show some objectivity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-44741699361640949302009-03-14T23:14:00.000+05:302009-03-14T23:14:00.000+05:30Kaplan's article is filled with factual inaccuraci...Kaplan's article is filled with factual inaccuracies.<BR/><BR/>Vimal Ambani is Dhirubhai Ambani's nephew, right?<BR/><BR/>The riots was wrong, I agree.
