Highway Sign 3 - Order: In!

Laws are essential for the smooth, orderly functioning of a country. Where laws are easily flouted and people are used to flouting them - whether it's in traffic or in their dealings - the result is a disorderly country.  

Can a disorderly country become a developed nation? The answer is obvious. So the clear Highway Sign 3 for India's future is Order: In!

Highway Sign 2 - Bribe-All: Out!

Systemic bribery, where anyone with any authority expects bribes to do anything, and where a public used to only that system docilely goes on bribing. And it doesn't matter where in India, attitudes are the same. That 'normal' vicious cycle of corruption must end if India has any desire to progress.  

Can any country that ignores ethics ever build a truly modern, developed nation? So the clear Highway Sign 2 for India's future is Bribe-All: Out!

HighWay Signs: 'Grab: Out!'
But here's a story of Grabbing Crores that many people will remember. In those days India was going mobile crazy. Even auto-wallahs and housemaids acquired them. Then mobile owners got messages that if they paid a 1000/- rupees they would get lifetime free incoming calls. Millions of Indians paid a thousand rupees for free incoming. I spent Rs 3000/-. Then, at the end of a year, we got messages saying all incoming would henceforth be free on all mobiles. (Quite possibly the government had earlier decided incoming on all mobiles should be free, just as in the landlines.) Were those who paid a 1000/- each compensated in any way? Did the government take any action? So many hundred crores were cheated from India's people! The objective in this Indian rope-trick was the one I described in the last post. Grab whatever one can get away with!

No country that ignores principles and 'conscience' can build a truly modern, developed nation? The clear Highway Sign for India's future is Grabbing: Out!
