On one hand, government spends heavily on employment guarantee schemes and provides stimulus to combat the global financial crisis, on the other hand, it restricts the livelihood of self-employed poor through the license-permit raaj and it is even ready to displace poor in the name of beautification in wake of Commonwealth games. One such sector is Intermediate public transport sector in Delhi which already heavily regulated leading to not just a grey market but also sub-standard services for the commuters. Should these be phased out?  Autorickshaws in India: you may like them, depend on them or hate them-but you cannot ignore them.  Can deregulation and opening up of this sector release it from the clutches of the exploitative auto mafia?, see preview of the film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVWjuH8p1_Q&feature=youtube_gdata.
