004 A look at Gandhiji's ideas in the context of Conquest of India by Walmart


In the Post-Independence Era, earlier people used to occasionally exclaim: "If Gandhi were alive today, he would have committed suicide, unable to see India-to-day," or on similar lines. Now-a-days, people appear to have stopped doing it, because probably, they may be wondering "How many times, will he commit suicide?". He might have committed suicide long back, during the Era of Indira Gandhi's Rule. Now, during the Rule of our Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, will Gandhiji's Ghost (if at all it exists) ever visit India, or his birthplace Porbandar in Gujarat? In the context of what is happening, and what is going to happen, in India to Retail Trade, consequent upon the takeover of Flipcart by Wallmart, it is worth musing over what will be in store for Indian Businesses.

Here is a quote, attributed to Mahatma Gandhi:
The things that will destroy us are: politics without principles; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.


Politics without Principles


Latest Proof we can get from Karnataka Elections 2018.

Pleasure without Conscience

The 4,00,000 sq. ft. building is located on Altamount Road in South Mumbai. Estimated cost, at the time of building: $1 billion. 27 floors. Ms. Nita Ambani is reported to have set herself apart as a passionate philanthropist, leading the development of a model township, an elite school, and a Premier League cricket team.
