It is perhaps easy to think of an ideal society in the way Ayn Rand thought USA to be, but the notion that corporates/institutions should have the same rights as an individual is a very dangerous scenario. Arundhati Roy may or may not understand what she is talking about. She's a good writer and it's often difficult to focus to her point rather than be distracted by her prose. That said, at least she's taken some stand. MNCs have no moral code, and indeed capitalism is amoral. Perhaps we need to think hard if we really want a country and a society which has no moral values, one where we put a price/return of investment argument on everything we do.abhijit deb roynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842161795225579358.post-43468239832691030432010-06-19T15:41:45.001+05:302010-06-19T15:41:45.001+05:30Hi Ashish
