NAIROBI: Recently, my attention was drawn through a WhatsApp group (to a novel idea called the Artharanti Proposal. Apparently one of the key members of this organisation was given nine minutes with India’s Prime Minister to put forward the proposal and emerged two hours later!
The proposal has been put forward by a Pune-based economic advisory body made up of group of accountants and engineers called Arthakranti Sansthan. The word Artha translates to economic and Kranthi to revolution. This should give a good indication of where this is headed!
