Property rights are the most basic of all rights, be it for shareholders or for landowners whose property is being expropriated to build SEZs. The lack of thinking about labor reform is amazing. People thought of the SEZ policy to get around opposition to labor reform. But instead it has turned into a set of tax breaks and cheap land for industry without the most basic reason to have SEZs, viz. labor reform. Have posted on this in my blog Basab,

Forget VRS, why do most indians expect a job as a fundamental right ? And expect to keep it till they retire or quit on their own, as an inalienable right ? This whole mindset is part of culture which never sees the ruling elite retire and so demands that the same privileges be enjoyed by all.
