India Inc wants change

In the past couple of years India Inc have seen enourmous growth prospective. The growth rate of Indian economy was exceptional and set an example for rest of the world.

But the twin shocks; Mumbai terror attack and the global financial crisis certainly challenge the Brand India and also rest of the world. A story of high growth rate, over flowing cash tillers, hedonistic consumerism which camouflaged the rising poverty, depravity and unemployment.

A year which began with Brand India on a global roll and ended in tragedy and violence becoming the benchmark for other side of India. Only to culminate in a devastating confrontation with terrorism in Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Varanasi… and economic hardship. Bringing India once again face to face with cynicism and despair.

After Mumbai attack often dubbed as India's 9/11, we have seen a range of resignations and political changes. International reaction for the attacks was also widespread. Media coverage highlighted the use of new technologies and internet social networking tool in spreading information about the attacks, observing that internet coverage, especially the blogosphere, was often ahead of more traditional media sources.

No one can ever forget the attack on India's economy. The unity and aggression India has shown during and after the attack should sustain till the abolishing of terrorism. India Inc wants change.

Whole nation salutes martyrs of 26/11.
