Who says India cannot grow at 10% a year? We just have to re-align our economy to what is right for us, instead of looking at it through jaundiced Western paradigms (ha, managed to use this word). In other words, we have to reposition our economy as The Festival Economy. Dubai has something called festival city, so why not a festival economy out here?
All the nation's resources must be concentrated on the festivals. We can easily count around 300 festivals, so that'll keep us buzzing almost year-round. All products and services, supplies, and infrastructure should focus on the festivals. And there should be no shortages, to ensure that the Gods don't go crazy and punish us. So we have to have power for all, roads for all, sugar and oil for all, and so on. The people who have to produce these get fined if they don't produce enough to supply to all the festivals. Those who do, get rewarded with more festival orders.
Everything would be hunky dory, because who can compete with us on the number of festivals, and each one longer than the last one?
Uff, just got another problem off my back. Enough work done. Now let me go join the festivities..

It's uncanny timing - I was just contemplating writing about how religion is equal to Indian economy but you said it all.
Whoa, brilliant. Good stuff Prof.
Thanks, DH and Hari. I can hear the stock markets getting ready for an up-tick.
