I have a great respect for Marc Andreessen who have invested in great tech companies at early stage and they are part of my daily life. I have learnt a lot by reading his essays and his bullet points in twitter about startups and building companies.<p>I&#x27;m not able to understand why he has to make this comment.  He sits in Facebook board and recently TRAI had declined Facebook&#x27;s Free Basics which violates Net Neutrality. Does this have anything to do with his comment?<p>India has been growing great in recent years and it&#x27;s headed for enormous growth in next few decades. India has the largest youth population in the whole world and it can transform itself into a great super-power if it&#x27;s run by great politicians and put India back in track.<p>- The British East India Company was the original Free Basics. We all know how that ended.
