Correct...or Incorrect

Yesterday, I was having discussion with my friend about the topic - "Would you say that Dhirubhai was correct for manipulating the system in his initial days of business days?"

Well, the topic was so common, but how do you justify the correctness after once you have seen that the Reliance has done so good under his leadership. Was he really correct after you know the way he manipulated the system for the company's benefit ?(ohh sorry my friend argued, it was his personal benefit associated with these actions).

Be any the case, one faces so many times such similar situations in which you have the justify the correctness of the actions. In my view, outcome of such actions are decided by the way you look at the final result. I believe that Dhirubhai felt that system itself was wrong and it provided the opportunities to those who were well enough to exploit the opportunities. How do entrepreneurs would flourish in a system, when it is inlcined to do the good for some people?

But, what is correct ? I believe that it is a mere consensus of what most of the people think is right. But, how do you justify that "license raj" itself was right. I still remember one politician saying "Dhirubhai was correct....and license raj should not have been there".

Well, there are many times when one decide the correctness (some people say ethics) of an issue or an action by just looking at the majority. The issue which was correct may or may not be correct tomorrow...Mind you, I am not talking about the ethics here.
