I would love to hear more about the book you are writing…Unfortunately I cannot understand Tamil but if there is ab English version, I would like to have a look at it.

Pl do stay in touch on this. Like you, I am optimistic about our future.

I think more than ever indian middle class is receptive to the message of free market and limited govt.We just need to express our ideas in a way they can understand.Right now, i am working on a book in Tamil language about how the govt control of economy has crippled us and why we need free market.I've planned to keep it very simple without any graphs or too much statistics. I will be moving back to India from US early next year.I am hoping to get my book ready by then and taking it to people thru book fairs and college speeches. Once our people are hooked on to the internet( like cellphones),we would definitely see a tremendous shift in their perspective about things.As we are quick adopters of technology, we can definitely trust on the power of the internet to change people's mind. So, I am very optimistic about our future.

If she has read Seneca and Cicero she doesn’t show it. Those unburdened by education, like Sanjay Gandhi, find it easier to view things as either good or bad.
