This is awesome. India is doing the correct hung these days. First they show Zuckerberg the door and then this. Kudos to whoever is in charge of this change.
Not just that. Disallowing evergreen biotech patents, making generics to be free from price fixing, fighting against yoga/ayurvedha/siddha patents worldwide, right to food, right to education, right to information and so on. Seriously India gets a lot of flak, but we're leading the charge in many areas!
How in the world is RTE anything but pure evil? For a country that is in dire need of new schools, how can any law that closes existing schools with flimsy reasons and zero due process (not that it matters when you have 200 years backlog in courts) be anything but pure evil? These are private schools started by individuals with no government funds. It has made impossible for hindus who form 85+% of the population to start and operate schools (irrespective of the social status/caste/financial status). It has essentially made an essential commodity that is education scarce (as you know it's not economically viable for 85% of the population to start one).
