Surely You Must be Joking Mr.Ahluwalia

I have been genuinely surprised at the respect that MSA gets at various forums where he lectures on Economics, Energy, Infrastructure, Public Policy etc... Just beneath the surface, if people care to study his understanding of these topics, it would be easy to see that he pretty much knows nothing. & it's not entirely his fault - as Lord Desai recently said, we give our politicians and bureacrats far more respect than they deserve. & sooner rather than later, they start believeing in all the adulations.
