In one's quick but firm view, there seems to be a strikingly
agonising fallacy, verging on lunacy, in
the very idea for having in place a
'resolution' authority, that too at this late stage. One would have thought in
today' s already extremely muddled scenario, any talk of 'co-ordination',
ideally on an ongoing basis, as aimed at, is palpably a wishful/blinkered thinking,
rather a non-starter. If were to be
guided by common sense, with a good measure of wisdom historically gathered
only in hindsight, 'prevention' (in
anticipation of a crisis such as this) is any day better than devising a 'cure'
(remedy). In other words, wisdom lies in sincerely and intelligently foreseeing
and planning how to cross a river on the route, a turbulent one at that, even
before the late stage of having arrived at its threatening banks.

<>To sadly recall:
It was the Banking Sector , mainly leading banks, laden with mounting NPAs and having had to face the wrath and severe critisicm of, besides the RBI, all stakeholders alike, that set the trend for a similarly high-handed action, nay overactive but unethical steps by any standard, verging on criminality, against the defaulting borrowers; giving the impetus and inspiration for others to follow suit and mindlessly resort to longarm tactics.
In a manner of speaking, that has left bewildered the right minded citizens, regardless of self being a harrassed borrower or not, - in the thought that the socalled DRMs often being spoken of has miserably faied to be a foolproof and effective route.
From manning nightclubs and protecting VIPs, bouncers have seen their roles expand. Private security agencies claim demand for bouncers ...

Echoing the readers’ common reaction, one is left wildly wondering, - is not all the modern day talks of moving or marching forward towards ‘progress’ , a real, and profound one at that, after all a myth in its profoundest sense, verging on self-deceit of the gravest kind .
Switching over to a lighter mood and to recall what one has read:
“When William the Conqueror came to England, he introduced a system of ordeal by battle or trial by battle. The fight had to be by the litigant in person unless he was allowed to be represented by a champion. Thus the gladiator was the predecessor of the modern advocate.”
May be difficult to even imagine more so to believe that, It was a renowned lawyer of our times himself, who spoke; but went on to add: “I have never stopped thanking Providence for the change in the mode of advocacy. If the mode which prevailed in the earlier centuries were to continue today, there would be a drastic change in the leadership of the Bar.”
Had he been in our midst today, surely he would have unhesitatingly recommended the reference to be suitably changed to “debt-ridden corporate” and “bouncers” – the ones now in headlines.

"India's private security business has grown by leaps and bounds since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Today, it is worth $5 billion. The industry, according to leading players, is growing at 18 per cent annually — one of the few sectors to beat the economic slowdown."
Recently, a company that handed out pink-slips to a large number of employees hired bouncers as a protective measure against the disgruntled. (Illustration by Neelabh)
