Don't go out of the box

While Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh brilliantly outlined India’s stand on environment and global warming in the Lok Sabha, outwitting the opposition, he also gave advice to other MPs. Ajay Chaudhary of the Rashtriya Lok Dal, who was particularly sceptical about the government’s attitude, was told by Ramesh “not to think out of the box” at such a young age. “In our country, you are not accepted if you start thinking out of the box. You have to be inside the box. You can go out of the box occasionally but be sure you return quickly.”
