If I am to believe this article in the Times of India, Indian Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav, who is better known for the fodder scam, has been invited by top universities in the US to talk about how he managed to destroy the western myth that “an unprofitable enterprise should be privatised and its employees downsized”.
This might be an interesting talk considering that the Indian Railways is the largest commercial or utility employer in the world with more than 1.6 million employees. I hope the people who did the real thinking behind this get due credit!
