Types of information

Types of information (which one should a country like India aim for) 

Right to Information

Need to know

Don’t ask don’t tell

Mandatory but involuntary  disclosure

Optional yet voluntary  disclosure

Mandatory and automatic disclosure

I am pretty sure I have zeroed in on the ”reactor core” of the Indian republic as it stands today. It will be extremely interesting to see if they can continue to safeguard their fountainhead in the age of internet and information.

At some point necessary laws will be made and verything becomes normal again.
