Re: [HumJanenge] Gujarat Attracted Just 5% of FDI Since 2000

I suppose that the rest of the FDI goes to the Stock Market which is an indirect way of looting this country through manipulation of stocks by the Indian (and also foreign) money stacked abroad..  All Indians with some sense of economics must protest against FDI in he stock market which is an indirect way of looting the wealth of the country. --- On Fri, 7/10/11, Sant Mathur <santmathur@gmail.com> wrote: From: Sant Mathur <santmathur@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [HumJanenge] Gujarat Attracted Just 5% of FDI Since 2000 To: humjanenge@googlegroups.com Date: Friday, 7 October, 2011, 10:13 AM Goa's mining scam and J&K's homicide scam also be commented upon with equal vigour.Selective attack smacks of political leanings,not good for dispassionate RTI activists. spm On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 12:44 AM, Ravinder Singh <corruptionfree04@gmail.com> wrote: Gujarat Attracted Just 5% of FDI Since 2000   Half Pants may find it difficult to believe in this latest report of DIPP Gujarat attracted just 5% of the FDI in India ($7.3b) out of $133b for India since April2000.
