But very soon, it came to be recognised that privatisation did create many problems, such as lack of transparency, pseudo capitalism and many other associated evils. The welfare aspects of privatisation also tended to be given inadequate attention in the privatisation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the rush to privatise, many countries ignored the welfare role of the State. In particular, the negative aspects of privatisation relating to labour came to be recognised and initiatives began to be taken to lessen these negative social aspects. These were, however, not adequate and resulted in impoverishment and considerable hardship to labour and led to questions on the wisdom of pursuing privatisation policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, the author examines the privatisation processes in Sri Lanka and India and the implications that it has for various sections of society.
