text for new page
Put your text for the new page here. "Colonised people are not simply those whose labour has been appropriated but those whose soul dwells an inferiority complex created by the death and burial of tis local cutural originality" How true is this statement?
Clarification : In the last para a line says "... organisations like GE, BA, etc. ...", what does BA stand for ?

Lesbination (What the hell?)
There is a random story in the middle of this section on the economy reading as such: "Once upon a time, there lived a man who had a terrible passion for baked beans. He loved them, but they always had an embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on him. One day he met a girl and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would marry, he thought to himself, she'll never go through with the marriage with me carrying on like this, so he made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.
Shortly after that they were married. A few months later, on his birthday and on the way home from work, his car broke down. Since they lived in the country, he called his wife and told her that he would be late because he had to walk home. On his way home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk he figured he could walk off any ill affects before he got home. It was, after all, his birthday. So he went in and ordered, and before leaving had 3 extra large helpings of baked beans.
All the way home he putt-putted. By the time he arrived home he felt reasonably safe. His wife met him at the door and seemed somewhat excited. She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!" She put a blindfold on him, and led him to his chair at the head of the table and made him promise not to peak. At this point he was beginning to feel another one"
I have erased this, but I am wondering what exactly this section is about.--RNJBOND 08:09, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
Rewrite
I plan to do a rewrite of this article, since it is too short for such a vast topic and a good rewrite should make it a feature article candidate. I have put my ideas on Talk:Economy_of_India/Template_for_Rewrite. Please feel free to add/edit & discuss the template and/or collaborate on the rewrite. pamri 16:56, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Economy and energy
I think something about energy subsidies and their importance to agriculture would be relevant in this article. See the quote below. "International organisations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund have often criticised India for giving free electricity to farmers." [1]
