Until China reforms, Made in China firms must be treated with as much caution and precaution as India is treating the Made in China pandemic

My essay in @orfonline argues why #Huawei must not be allowed into India's #5G
#Ladakh
India will not be alone in rejecting #Huawei.
UK proposes a D10 club of democratic partners for #5G:
-- G7
-- Australia
-- South Korea
-- India

Apart from a thin ideological constituency and vested business interests, China has limited appeal left in much of India’s imagination

Excerpt from my essay in @orfonline
Allowing #Huawei to be a #5G equipment provider to Indian telecommunications firms will be like asking the Chinese Communist Party to run our general elections. As we repulse China at the borders, we must ensure we do not surrender our cities, homes and minds to that ideology.
If governments across the world, India in particular, were to read the Chinese National Intelligence Law keeping national interests in mind, they would not allow any Chinese firm (like #Huawei) to participate in their critical infrastructure (like #5G).

The primary issue around Clause 7.1 is that the right to property as a fundamental right was snatched away from Indians in 1978.

A short thread...
Between 1951 through 1976, seven amendments—1st (1951), 4th (1955), 17th (1964), 25th (1971), 39th (1975), 40th (1976), and 42nd (1976)—were brought in, all of which were struck down by the Supreme Court.
Finally, with the 44th Amendment (1978) and the repeal of Article 19(1)(f), the right to property was taken away.
With two exceptions:
1. Minorities to establish and administer educational institutions.
2. Persons holding land for personal cultivation within the ceiling limit.

Sorry @irsassociation @finmin @nsitharaman: these measures will be inadequate to derail the Indian economy.

Just 40% tax on the rich? It’s is too low. The rich are parasites, rogues, anti-national. You can do better.
The tax should be raised to 93.5% as Indira Gandhi had in her 1970 Budget.
And don’t forget the 15% surcharge that took the marginal rate of tax to 97.5%.

Why only 'tax' income of the rich? Stop their income, period.
Learn from Finance Minister Y.B. Chavan, who in his May 1971 Budget put a monthly salary ceiling of Rs 5,000 and Rs 1,000 as perquisites.
“…which go ill with norms of egalitarian society.”
