If Shipping is Lobbied:
Radiagate leaks have shaken our schizophrenic system of governance. Idealism meets pragmatism in an odd place like the corridors of the North & South Block of Edwin Lutyen - who had open contempt for Indian culture & its people. A battle for righteousness & the right is moulding public opinion in a mirror image of Uncle Sam. The media is pushing the idea of legalising lobbying in line with the US, whose stereotyping of India is no less than that of Lutyen, in a contemporary world of today. If you really do that the ideals would die & Edwin Lutyen would resurrect himself to mock at us! We are not like the Americans. We should not be a cheap clone of a bikao nation!
Just imagine what would happen if all shipping lines lobby to charge you three times the THC? If all private port operators lobby to jack up stevedoring bills to its clients? If all CHAs lobby to make it mandatory to pass all documents through them at an astronomical price? If all freight forwarders lobby to restrict shippers to do business directly with shipping lines like in China? If all shippers lobby to abolish THC like in Bangladesh? If all consignees lobby to ban all import charges collection like in Bangladesh? If all transporters lobby to increase road freight at their whims sans taxes?
Does this not amount to 1% of the the people who have enough money for lobbying, to exploit 99% of the consumers? Do we have to mimic every thing that the west does? Can we not chart our own destiny?
If Ambani or Tata wants a change in policy they should be allowed to file for their demands to a specific & independent Policy Commission and pay a fee in line with what they have to pay the Politicians & bureaucrats now. The full information should be displayed in the government website, so that the consumers are too aware of what is being being cooked for them. The consumers could debate or counter the lobby in a specific time frame by depositing a collective amount more than the amount deposited by the initial lobbyists.
