INVEST IN INDIA

Sign on closed door: INDO EU JOINT CONCLAVE

True, you pay bribes in India. But look at it as investment, in lieu of which you get total clearance to do anything – kill and displace tribals to mine their land, underpay menial labour, escape liability for accidents, advertise in and buy the media etc. Do all that you cannot do in your own countries. Once India becomes a true people’s democracy like yours, you lose this little window of opportunity…

BEHIND CLOSED DOOR - By satyen k. bordoloi - 10th Nov, 2010

The times are a'changing. And the changing times are too hilarious to not comment. Politics, cinema, arts, culture, religion, tradition, people... everything is attacked 'BEHIND CLOSED DOOR'. Even the cartoon strip is attacked by the cartoonist as it should, according to correct grammar, read 'Behind Closed Doors' or 'Behind A Closed Door'.
