Actually the old guard is afraid of privatization, not necessarily the foreigners. Tommorrow the Insurance company employee unions go on strike, to protest the IRDA. Their grouse is *not* foreign investment and foreign control, because the new form of the bill limits foreign equity to 26%. Their problem is privatization, which means they'll actually have to work for a living like the rest of us. Read their statements on the website of the Times of India.

BTW, I share your beliefs. I also believe that Indian companies, in a free-market environment, can compete quite effectively with any Western company...
