Dear Editor,
I have read your article titled Queuing up to leave, published in the July/August 2012 edition of India Business Law Journal, and found it very interesting.
To my mind, the scenario is similar to watching a movie.
Nowadays, we go to watch a movie in a new age, swanky, state-of-the-art multiplex. We are accorded a real red carpet and warm welcome. Escalators or lifts help us to reach the cinema hall surrounded by wonderful furniture, kiosks, retail outlets, etc. However, when the movie is over, we are left in the backyards of the complex to find our own way back through multiple doors and stairwells, sometimes dark and dingy with no directions.
In India, we follow the dictum “atithi devo bhava” – guests are like God and we should welcome them with folded hands, but no one ever cares about how we should behave when they are leaving. Our government seems to be no different and is indifferent to foreign investors’ plight while they pack up.
