Modi likes foreigners (white guy: not a lawyer)"Why should we need to go outside the country for global arbitration? We shouldn’t think that if foreign lawyers come here, they will take away our jobs,” said prime minister Narendra Modi, for the first time publicly weighing in on the liberalisation debate, adding that fears that foreign lawyers would dominate the local profession were unfounded.
Modi was speaking during the inauguration of the commerce ministry’s three-day Global Exhibition on Services (GES), as reported by the Economic Times and others.

Woohoo!! For 10 years the oligarchs opposing liberalisation bribed the Congress. Now the Congress is crumbling and so are the oligarchs. Wake up to the new India you jokers!
india was a frontrunner in liberalising the legal profession. in fact, in vedic times, the legal profession was completely liberalised and there were no entry barriers at all. bar of foreign lawyers is a western import and totally against our culture.
Does he realise that to make India an attractive seat for arbitration its not opening up the legal sector that needs changing but changing the way courts interact with the arbitral process and take time hearing S.34 challenges...
...is offensive. Any particular reason we need to identify people by the colour of their skin? Had it been an African gentleman, would you say "Black Guy - Not a lawyer"??
No, that would have been racist as I'm a white guy. But being a white guy, I'm allowed to call other white guys white without it being racist. And generally, I'm of the somewhat controversial and possibly false view that it's impossible to be racist to white people, ever. :)
Also, it's a bit of a joke on using a generic white guy to stand in for foreign lawyers (the guy in the picture is Michael Bloomberg).
