Pilot Baba and other con-men
India certainly doesn't have a shortage of con-men who fool the public repeatedly in the name of religion. It amazes me that not only the illiterate,poor and uneducated, but also educated and affluent are fooled by these people. Some of these people therefore are extremely powerful and well connected politically. CNN-IBN has done commendable work in exposing some of these people, but as expected has been accussed of insulting Hindus and Hinduism.

I think these babas should be commended for their work. Against all odds, they are able to attract foreign direct investment in some of the most backward parts of our country. Something that even our Ivy League bread finance minister has not been able to do.
And since most of these transactions are “smooth” (well greased), there are no pesky transaction costs like taxes, so the system operates as efficiently as possible. For a true capitalist, this is heaven. And isn’t heaven what the babas are supposed to be selling after all.
