The mammoth gathering of the Anti-Globalisation Brigade(AGBs) in Mumbai reminds me of a similar spectacle of self-deception in the form of a Swadeshi Mela organisedat the capital’s Pragati Maidan some years ago by the Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) — an offshoot of theright wing Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh. This was one of SJM’s ways of making a case against integratingIndia into the world economy by showcasing the supposed superiority of India’s indigenous industrial sector.
