> Sky-high tariffs blocked imports. Scarred by the East India Company, which came to trade with India in the seventeenth century and stayed on to rule the nation for more than two centuries, we blocked foreign direct investment (FDI) from coming in from any multinational corporation to India. And to make sure that these barriers were not violated we strung the economy up in rules, regulations, and permits. India used to be referred to as the "permit raj."
