The unorganised retail trade in India, which employs an estimated 40 million people, represents the traditional, community-centric, low-cost and employment-intense retailing that includes, but is not limited to, kirana shops, owner-run general stores, paan-beedi shops, convenience stores, and hand-cart and pavement vending. In this model a whole family works in one shop and a whole community is engaged in the trade in a defined area. These self-employed, most of them are engaged in the trade along with their families, and so the work and livelihood of some 120 million people depend on this sector. However, on the contrary, if we allow Walmart to do business in this country, they would employ only 5 lakhs people, as against 40 million people who are engaged in the Retail Sector in India with or without the support of the Governments, throwing the majority in total disarray. Its time, we guard our social equilibrium!

"Political game". Real shame when national parties like BJP and Communists resort to it in taking decisions of utmost significance to national importance. Already used to regional parties resorting this political games for over decades now.

I do not believe that any economic opportunity is a wrong one of apprehensions as juxtaposed or summarized by zealots. FDI would naturally rake in lots of internal competition as well as prop up the nations resources untapped so far. Let it galvanize our economy and allow FDI to be a part of our life. We have lived without one and not anywhere, so why not try a different stroke?

Fully agree with you Tanmay there, advanced technology being used in any sector including computer technology hits the middlemen the most. This the fuss

With technology middleman only middleman should worry. FDI in retail is technology in agricultural goods distribution. Farmer quit agriculture for industry jobs. They will benefit and middleman/wholesaler will get competition. Kirana shop/self employment will remain as they were. Its thus vacancies + more farmers + strong rupee + FDI. Only middleman who administer mandies and sometimes kalabaziree are at risk.

The clientele for major retail malls etc ... are different from that of the market of the small neighbor hood shops & kiranas. So really they will not eat into each others pie. In-spite of the big retail outlets like those of Reliance, the Kirana shops have not been hit hard. In fact the former is finding it tough to keep their heads above the water. The patronage for the Walmarts and co will be hardly 10% of the Indian clients. I fail to see the fuss being created for the same. Yes if the FDI patronized retail centers come into existence, then the middlemen are going to be hit hard. In fact the consumers and producers can only benefit from the same.

Can Wall Mart totally vanish out our retail sector. I doubt. Can it import everyitem from USA to sell it out here. It has to depend on these retailers again. I believe it is only misconception that Walmart or someother organised retailer will totally wipe out our unorganised retail chains.
