[Assam] Book review : India After Gandhi- Sikh Holocaust

[Krishnendu Chakraborty]

Ramda,  add to your note,   Indian Railways actually
had  profit under Laloo .... after a long time.


Umesh,  did you ever see Laloo speaking in English ?
He might have completed his entire education in Hindi.
  
However,  the bottomline here is,  even without
primary education one can be an MLA/MP/Minister.  So
"knowing English" is NOT a pre-requisite to move to
that Elite class.


>>>And Laloo is not only a minister, he even lectured
Harvards MBAs on
management issues.

To be fair though, the Indian Railway system it seems
is not the old system
we had before and is comparable to other systems
worldwide. I travelled by
Shatabdi Express, Chennai-Bangalore, the ticketing
(online purchase), the
travel (fast & smooth), the catering was excellent-and
no dalals or touts
bothering you.

Maybe Laloo don't need no edumacation, he is just
Chaloo :)
