The Swadeshi Act

You walk into neighboring departmental store and count how many of the articles would have came form somewhere in India, or would have the tag "Made in India" ?, not many.. perhaps this is yet another reason why our country is still developing.
Ours is one of the few innocent countries which export the raw materials for a lower profitable rate and import the furnished products for a higher value. This state clearly explains how much of money is wasted due to marginal profit ratio, while other tinier countries are ravishing this bulk. Well contemporary critics argue that the heavier duty levied on imported goods would solve this issue…. what has globalization done?
Alright, coming to what I feel as the practical solution to this incorrigible plight is introduction and implementation of a new act called the SWADESHI act.
Let me quote it, “ As per the Swadesi act, any product (gadget/software/clothes/food item) that is created and could be repaired using 100% indigenous parts in an Indian firm inside India, would surpass all the taxes, provided the manufacturing company directly or indirectly multiplies the involved revenue”. This way in some five years form now, you and I would be buying a mobile or an MP3 player or why not a cigarette or a bottle of scotch which proudly boasts with the mark in gold “Made in India”. That day you know, this country would have all the positives of its counterparts around this planet, with the plethora of resources available, those days are not far off……………………………………………………………………………………………..
well buddy , all happens if somebody in the constitution knows this……….

dear friend,
I appreciate your patriotism. To be frank, I am against globalization. It looks to me, more like a blemish, than a bless. If you are a member of the IT community, you infact stand as an example. Superior brains like you, flying away form our mother courtry only contribute to the of-quoted BRAIN DRIAN. Love our country, live with it, take it to greater heights.

it doesnt matter where you are, what you are... when it comes to being "patriotic", it only matters what you to do your country and to your fellow brothers and sisters back in INDIA....
there is nothing called a "Brain Drain"...till you are aware of your duties and responsibilities back home as an INDIAN.

dear Vijay,
i duly appreciate ur view. being a patriot, am really happy to know that great researchers like you are still having ur roots deep in the Indian soil. its really comforting when people argue that Brain Drain is a history.
