Indian pharmaceutical players have been among the frontrunners that have moved in for the kill

Indian pharmaceutical players have been among the frontrunners that have moved in for the kill, more so in the post-liberalisation era. They are not just reveling in the plethora of opportunities that have opened up, thanks largely to a number of patents expiring. Indian companies, irrespective of their size, are taking up the cudgels in every sphere of the gargantuan pharma space, and they even have a war chest ready to enable them to gobble-up First World companies, as and when required. However, on the other hand, the Indian players have also learned (the hard way) how tough the generic business can be. This is a space that has seen murderous price wars (particularly in the US), despite the fact that China, the undisputed master of the pricing game, doesn’t account for much in the pharma sweepstakes. Even though they are enjoying their day in the sun, these firms still lack the financial and R&D muscle of the beleaguered pharma giants. Will Indian firms ever be able to metamorphose into giant killers? We take a closer look…

Trade Disorders

It was almost inevitable: the complete failure and breakdown of talks under the so-called Doha Round of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations. There is that old adage about parallel lines not meeting at all and the stance adopted by the First and Third World nations reflects two parallel lines. Developed nations and blocs like United States and the European Union want greater access to Third World markets; yet, they are not willing to allow Third World farmers unfettered access to their own markets. Seven years after the Doha Round of negotiations started, it is clear that the US and the EU are simply not willing to come even half way on the issue of farm subsidies. In an earlier era, these developed nations could ram their unilateral decisions down on Third World nations, because the latter were hopelessly dependent on the former for aid, technology and capital. That’s no longer the case. Countries like Brazil and India are no longer meek pushovers in the global arena, and they are not willing to accept patently unfair terms in the global trade regime. It is no wonder WTO negotiations are breaking down repeatedly.

The enemy within...

It’s been a long time since the days of Charu Majumdar and Naxalbari movement. India has changed much from those days and though disparities, inequalities and discrimination still prevail in many of the pockets of the country, the movement that is going on in the name of Naxalism today is far from the ideology of Charu Majumdar. Ironically, today Naxalites have literally become an anti-thesis of what essentially was the reason for the initiation of the movement. In the last few years, more people have died due to their mayhem than in wars or in, say, Kashmir. Those are oft en the hapless and poor foot soldiers of CRPF and State police along with innocent villagers who are the victims of their atrocity. Critics say that given the millions they collect annually through extradition, they could have literally changed the landscape of rural India if they wanted.
