Heh. It reads like the usual "business" article with several apriori assumptions. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I'm OK with bias as long as people don't claim to be neutral.

* Capitalism good, Socialism bad * All countries should emulate the west. * "Not Business friendly" - Code for this country won't let us exploit their people.

Then we come to the actual substance.

>First, revenues from software made by Indian companies is taxed while export revenues are tax-exempt. In other words, an Indian company has no incentive to do local business.

Uh, yeah. Sure. All the people doing exactly that don't exist. They have no incentive !!

>By then, India may have learned to practice true economic reform, taking a lesson from their neighbors in China.

Why would anyone want to take a lesson from China? - Which BTW continues to forcibly exert control over the lives of her people (including businesses).

>Maybe then they will understand that a free-market economy isn't necessarily a new form of colonialism.

Wow. Dude, India has been trading and doing business with East Africa, the Middle East, all of south Asia including China since like 6 AD. We 'understand' how to trade just fine.
