    And the big question is whether we want the unregulated/corrupt hand of
the
Government to "develop" the infrastructure or let the invisible hand of the
free-market take care of its rapid and fair development?

    I do not think Dr. Shah was disputing whether there should be education,
health care, etc. in the Indian Society.  It is an issue of whether we want an
unregulated, self-serving, and corrupt institution like the Government to
provide the services?  Or do we want a system with adequate checks and
balances,
such as competition and accountability, which are manifested through the
forces
of a free-market system to provide these essential services?
