Banana Republic



Is India in danger of the becoming a banana republic? How can we prevent this?

On Feb 9, 2011, a Ghaziabad court rejected the CBI's closure report and ordered Rajesh and Nupur Talwar to the face trial on a charge of killing their only daughter Aarushi.

Reacting to the order, Rajesh Talwar said, “I shouldn't have been born in this country. It's nothing but a banana republic.” Aarushi and the Talwars' domestic help Hemraj were found murdered 2 years ago.

In December last year, taking strong objection to the leakage of his conversation with his public relations officer Nira Radia, Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata had also warned that India was in risk of becoming a banana republic.

The income-tax department had tapped Radia's phones as part of its investigation into alleged irregularities in allocation of mobile telephony spectrum. The conversations were later leaked to the media.
