“The cultural dimensions of Indian capitalism compound the problem. Business leaders often complain of weak human capital. Yet, they were historically unwilling to invest in building it. Unlike American firms, which helped establish research universities and an R&D infrastructure, Indian capital largely sought a free ride. The record on labour is equally dismal. Having comprehensively defeated the bargaining power of workers, most firms still have not learned to manage labour with dignity, or to upgrade skills in ways that enhance productivity. ”

“Urban noise is not just a technical issue, it is deeply political. The absence of sustained public outrage stems from a normalisation of sonic aggression. Honking, drilling and loudspeakers have become ambient irritants, tolerated rather than challenged.”
— Rohan Singh, The Hindu (2/9)
