India, once colonised by the British, is now in danger of answering to a new foreign master. But this time it's not a country that seeks to dominate it, rather it's an economic system. The so-called free market has taken on an almost religious-like aura. Its evangelists sing its praises from the pulpits of the IMF, World Bank and WTO. Convert now, the high priests tell India, or become an economic untouchable. With its one billion-plus people, what happens in India will impact the world.
