| Summary/Abstract |
On January 23rd this writer was invited to speak at the All India Bank
Employees Association (AIBEA) annual meeting, led by the Punjab
National Bank, on The Future of Democracy in India. The theme seemed
a little incongruous for an occasion where, “Comrades of the World
Unite,” to discuss their welfare. In fact, I wonder if bankers ever have
the time to think or worry about democracy. Judging by the mechanical
manner in which the customers who enter the banks are greeted it
would seem that democracy is an outlandish concept.
