meaning you must know and feel the ground realities not sitting pretty in your office ...when I was in charge of a few hundred men and controlled matters from SG ,when a local called i knew exactly what he actually meant when he says certain things ...it's highly critical for decision making ..because I walked every inch of the ground and know the realities

myself traded pretty well with India and Indians and the golden ruled was to know 3 communities and their idiocraciez...Brahmins, if you want to deal with burecracy and red tapes ..Marawaris, they control almost all industries and Gujaratis ,traders but quite dicy ...my trick was befriend them before business and beleive me it worked not only in India but also elsewhere

@syed putra talked about screwd his own lil brother both of whom split their fathers wealth equally...it shows how competitive and cut throat business in India can be ...it's very very very comparative to live as anybody in India, i reckon ...that is why CECA Indians can suvive in any climate anywhere...it's just like introducing snake head fishes in US ...in no time local species got wiped out against a fish that can walk in the land and survive without water for long
