Is this column finally ending-MAN THAT IS A RELIEF!All these columns were an insult to the intellect.Shallow views,no research just a loud mouth and an acquired status.If India has to become competitive the first thing Indians have to learn is to accept meritocracy.And as a woman I despise it even more when another woman gains the limelight through any other means besides her qualifications.Mint, an otherwise fine newspaper and a newspaper that is truly raising the standard of business reporting, shouldn't succumb to the sycophantic cliche that is India.Mrs. Nilekani, my sincere advice to you-if you really care about social causes please try to be humble about it.Walk the talk.I am sure for all the I did this and I did that there is very little to show for it. Gain some perspective
