| In a civilisation which boasts of panchayati raj in 5000 BC, democracy is still in its infancy. |
| Excessive government control and the licence-permit raj paved the way for corruption, which has developed deep inroads in our community. |
| The licence-permit raj created passive consumers willing to buy any rubbish available. |
| Corporate buccaneers have found it difficult maintaining their own pace after the licence raj. |
| Even today, a person wanting to drive a rickshaw, or to run a tea shop, suffers the same horrors of the license-permit-quota raj. |
| As far as loyalty to the British raj was concerned, one comes across several such letters by Gandhi in his early phase. |
