&lt;p&gt;Bruce McEwen of Adam Smith Esq. takes a scathing view of the Indian legal industry&amp;rsquo;s attempts keep itself isolated. Last year&amp;rsquo;s high court decision barring foreign firms from operating in India and the more recent petition seeking to expel 31 foreign law firms (including White &amp;amp; Case) for illegally practicing law &amp;ldquo;out of five-star hotels and business centres&amp;rdquo; are both, in MacEwen&amp;rsquo;s view, futile attempts to turn back the clock:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;The inexorable trend of the past century and more has been towards:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;More powerful globalization;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;More open national borders (in terms of trade in goods, in services, and vis-a-vis people and ideas);&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;And accelerated &amp;rsquo;creative destruction&amp;rsquo; as competition, in its ruthless but fabulous way, ensures that only the fittest survive.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;MacEwen illustrates his last point via this video that shows what happens when a 2009 Chevy Malibu has a head-on collision with a 1959 Chevy Bel Air. Or, in other words, &amp;ldquo;The Indian lawyers challenging US and UK firms are decisively and apparently blindly on the wrong side of history.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-posted by brian&lt;/p&gt;
