From the first of a series written a year ago:
India, like every successful entity, must have a set of principles at its core from which all governance and policies are derived. These principles should be understood by its citizens and therefore must be
- Comprehensive
- Comprehensible
- Minimal
These principles are an expression of fundamental and foundational values which are acceptable to a large number of people who have different secondary value systems. We call them “Pretty Good Principles,” or PGP for short. They are:
- Minimal Government
- Individual Rights
- The Relationship Between the Individual and the Government
