India is not the United States, which can contemptuously disregard the International Criminal Court, threaten to sanction its members who dare to investigate war crimes committed by American soldiers. This unanimous ruling ought to be accepted for many good reasons, including pragmatism and the desire to continue to attract foreign investment. But most of all because it is correct and just. The retrospective amendment of the Income Tax Act, 1961 to pluck out capital gains on an offshore transaction between two foreign entities merely because the underlying assets / business was located in India defeats the whole purpose of globalisation. For that matter, although the analogy is not exact, consider the tax efficient manner in which Reliance has raised money from foreign investors. This was one of UPA’s no balls. The FM should not have done it, nor should the PM have been too diffident to veto it. The family was too innocent in matters of governance to even know what the issue was.
