shiamak davar is the best thing bollywood has. He has been offered so many things and doesnt accept much. He is truly a professional.

Desidude, While Parmeshwar [quite an all encompassing name, btw] may not take part in the day to day activities of the company. She still has a huge [read - money for manolo blahniks, a palatial apartment on NYC'c fifth ave, spending money etc, etc]interest in the company's future. And since the future of the company is largely dependent on the growing power of the Indian consumer....you get my drift.

p.s. i went to grad school with her son and had a couple of very revealing discussions with parmeshwar - beleive it or not, her thoughts on indian security and economics were on par with any redblooded desi neo-con

To the contrary Desidude, given her [Parmeshwar's] stake in the Godrej empire, she has every reason to champion and sell India vigourosly.

She is not an executive or board member. She has about as much say in the Godrej empire as Paris Hilton has in the Hilton empire. Wait, at least Paris Hilton has an independent career going for her.

Vandana is a square root type she has a PhD in Physics so you could argue with her (but kooky ~~'economists'~~ in India are another thing). Arundati is an overgrown high school 'composition' writer (if you went to Grade/Hi school in India in the '70s you know what that means) and never lets facts come in the way of her assertions. A genuine anti-Dam-wallah like Ram Guha (who incidentally is market friendly) will have nothing to do with her. Arundati may be a great friend of the Commies these days but how many people know that she parodied EMS Namboodiripad in the God of Small Things?

Arundati and Vandana aren’t a part of the solution so they are…

Well, they are both commies, so it’s not too hard to guess … . Actually, to tell you the truth, I do find that Vandana articulates some interesting and valid viewpoints once you peel off her lefty rhetoric. Her advocacy of Indian farmers’s interests is certainly a good thing, although I don’t agree with many of the means she advocates to help them. From Arundhati Roy, on the other hand, I’ve hardly ever read anything that rises above the lvel of verbal diarrhea. I read her book “The Algebra of Infinite Justice” with the same morbid curiosity and fascination as a car wreck. Too much over-the-top non-sensical rhetoric for my taste, but as a literary car wreck, it’s quite entertaining in a twisted sense especially for right-wingers like me.

India needs to free up its internal agriculture market pronto and remove guvmint monopoly.

There's a job for Arundati and Vandana. The less people in agriculture the better for our economy. If modern agribusiness is going to make food cheaper and more widely available all over India I don't care about who runs that business. It worked with milk thanks to Dr.Kurien, hope we see the same with pulses and vegetables. Arundati and Vandana aren't a part of the solution so they are...
