Planning Process and Economic Reforms

I was in two minds about responding to my good friend T N Srinivasan (EPW, August 3-10 and September 14, 1991) like the Irishman who asked if it was a private fight or anybody could join in. After Ashok Rudra's paper (EPW, December 21, 1991) I feel more easy about joining. So, following Srinivasan, I prepared a number of statements gathered from his own responses and attempted my version of responses to them.
