India – Corporate run Government 

Padmini Arhant

While Indian government and administration under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah are dedicated to contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Registry Citizens (NRC) and now citing long existing National population registry (NPR) (census) to maneuver the embattled Hindutva ideology isolating specific demography in an effort to allocate vote banks,

The most favored corporate families viz Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani and Gautam Adhani among others in economic sector essentially run politics, economy, judiciary and media.

Not surprisingly, Reliance industries and Jio Telecom company CEO Mukesh Ambani reportedly per bloomberg.com adds $17 billion dollars to personal net worth in 2019 leading to individual total net worth at $61 billion claiming the status as Asia’s richest individual.

The corporate monopoly defiantly in gross violation of anti-trust and capitalist economy characteristics such as fair opportunity to all major and minor businesses to compete effectively enabling market determined factors to yield returns and profitability across economy rather than sole advantage to particular corporate group or family.

Furthermore, market economy benefitting consumers in terms of choices and options in quality, price and service is phased out in the prevalent economic environment.

The government pledge to protect selective corporate families interest at the vast majority expense where nearly a billion population is forced into record unemployment, inflation and sluggish economic growth arguably embarked on deflecting public attention from burgeoning economic strife alongside the meteoric rise of Mukesh Ambani and Ambani industries questionably held above law and exempt from transparency and accountability on tax compliance and various rules and regulations otherwise applicable to regular ordinary business entrepreneurs and retail merchants in the economy.

Indian population especially the educated and skilled youth in formal and informal sectors confronted with dismal economic and career prospects justifiably frustrated about status quo.

Indian government’s misplaced priority in enforcing laws and amendments on citizenship act causing unnecessary tension and anxiety primarily to distract citizens focus from chosen corporate expansion amassing personal wealth should be a grave concern for significant population struggling to make ends meet and overwhelming segments in abject poverty.

Corporate run politics and governments are not to be expected to bridge the gap between the haves and have nots when the system is solidified in quid pro quo for exclusive benefits and privilege.

Indian government and politics together bear responsibility for the ever increasing economic disparity and social inequality in society.

Indian citizens dealing with serious economic crises legitimately require to seek government action on reviving economy and immediate end to partisan politics premised on religion, caste and communal polarization.

Unless the situation and issues are addressed reversing the conditions, those reaping the harvest too would sooner than later experience the free fall of economy currently heading in the undesirable direction.

The prosperity of any or few depriving the rest from basic existence and survival is unsustainable resulting in inevitable negative outcome.

People power proved formidable in resisting unconventional practice and divisive politics.

Thank you.
