It was obvious to many of us in India in the 1970s that socialist economics didn’t work and that Thatcher’s radical reforms were the right course, one we wished someone would advocate in India. (It took 12 years and a massive crisis for that to happen.) Her plans to cut taxes, privatize industry and deregulate have been vindicated by history, but that doesn’t tell us much about what to do today. </p> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013/2013/04/10/68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html?wprss=rss_fareed-zakaria">Read full article &#62;&#62;</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/636583/s/2a92f13d/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Ffareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013%2F2013%2F04%2F10%2F68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_fareed-zakaria&t=Could+Margaret+Thatcher%E2%80%99s+reforms+work+in+2013%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Ffareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013%2F2013%2F04%2F10%2F68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_fareed-zakaria&t=Could+Margaret+Thatcher%E2%80%99s+reforms+work+in+2013%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Ffareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013%2F2013%2F04%2F10%2F68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_fareed-zakaria&t=Could+Margaret+Thatcher%E2%80%99s+reforms+work+in+2013%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Ffareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013%2F2013%2F04%2F10%2F68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_fareed-zakaria&t=Could+Margaret+Thatcher%E2%80%99s+reforms+work+in+2013%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Ffareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013%2F2013%2F04%2F10%2F68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_fareed-zakaria&t=Could+Margaret+Thatcher%E2%80%99s+reforms+work+in+2013%3F" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/163216897248/u/0/f/636583/c/34656/s/2a92f13d/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/163216897248/u/0/f/636583/c/34656/s/2a92f13d/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/163216897248/u/0/f/636583/c/34656/s/2a92f13d/a2t.img" border="0"/>Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:19:00 GMThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fareed-zakaria-could-margaret-thatchers-reforms-work-in-2013/2013/04/10/68e58eb4-a20b-11e2-82bc-511538ae90a4_story.html?wprss=rss_fareed-zakariaFareed Zakariahttp://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/636583/s/2a11df63/l/0L0Swashingtonpost0N0Copinions0Cfareed0Ezakaria0Eobama0Eappeals0Eto0Eisraels0Econscience0C20A130C0A30C270Ca4365b180E96f50E11e20Eb68f0Edc5c4b47e5190Istory0Bhtml0Dwprss0Frss0Ifareed0Ezakaria/story01.htm<p>As a piece of rhetoric, <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/president-obamas-address-to-the-israeli-people-in-jerusalem-transcript/2013/03/21/febb408e-9269-11e2-9abd-e4c5c9dc5e90_story.html">Barack Obama’s speech to college students in Jerusalem</a> was a triumph.

It was the place where the newest technology, the best gadgets and the latest fads seemed to originate. Seemingly exotic political causes — women’s liberation, gay rights, the fight against ageism — always seemed to get their start on the streets or in the legislatures and courts of the United States. Indians couldn’t imagine embracing all American trends — in fact, some were rejected outright — because they were too edgy for a country like India.
