SC Judgement shows India ready to battle crony capitalism

The telecom sector through its entire history, spanning the last decade and a half, has seen many dubious policy and administrative decisions, and consequently, many ups and downs.

We will come to that in a moment.
Around me, in the past couple of years, there are quite a few people who have bought agricultural land (wherever the law allows them etc.) and [...]
