We had terrible brain drain in the sixties, seventies and eighties. We were able to stop that brain drain by providing opportunities locally in India itself. To go to the next step in the development, India has to concentrate on road, water and electricity development in the next 10 years if that means creating new planned cities and capitals throughout India for each state; let that be done.<BR/><BR/>Corruption,nepotism, redtapism should be replaced by honest earning, merit and action. Can this be done? only Karthi kind of professionals in politics can answer that.<BR/><BR/>With the exception of exclusive monopoly in strategic areas such as electricity, water, and defence,<BR/>I thought India has open general licensing procedure for set up of industries.
