Revisiting Emerging Markets, BRIC by BRIC

In India's case I think the last few years have seen a lot of policy changes that are positive. I do not subscribe to the outdated view that deregulation = free market = good. It is not a "religious" issue. There is consensus across the Indian poitical spectrum that economic development is critical and growth is the basis for political success. Having said that political uncertainty is there before the elections. Anyway, had the Indian economy been tied into the global export oriented models driving some other Asian countries the situation would be very bad now.
