> Its quite easy to talk of "short-term impact" and "long-term gain" when you're not facing any of the short-term impact yourself. I doubt you or your family went to bed hungry on any day during November and December. Millions of Indian families did, while they didn't have to. This could have been executed better.

Maybe not in November or December. But definitely in the past. But I did not and still do not hold any Government's policy decision accountable for my past situations. What I always look for is disruptions to existing systems. It doesn't matter who conducts these disruptions as long as it is done. These are very much necessary. For example, my father always says how lucky I'm that I now have access to computers and internet and he did not have any such facilities during his time. However, I realize that whatever I have today would not have been possible if not for bold reforms of the 1990s. Today I understand the necessity for disruptions. The longer you delay necessary disruptions the more hardship you create for future generations because innovations don't wait for you to catch-up.
