The Illusion of Trust: Examining Economic Realities in India
The “chariot of Trust” is now rolled out in the Indian Republic by the current political regime in power. It is claimed to be an unquestionable truth by the latter.

If the Commission does not realise this and make amends, the Supreme Court should, suo motu, direct the Commission to act.
