Prominent trade pundit and commentator Chaim Even Zohar recently awarded his personal Oscar to the Indian diamond industry for its ‘starring role’ in leading the world’s diamond industry out of crisis into recovery.
Absolutely right and appropriate but also I think particularly interesting given that Chaim’s coverage of the Indian industry has often appeared to be somewhat ambiguous or ambivalent.
Does this recognition of the pre-eminent role of the Indian industry mean that we can now look forward to Chaim sharing his views and possibly in-depth analysis on how African beneficiation might impact not only the Indian industry in the future but also the implications for the vital interests of the mining companies themselves?

Unlikely Mark - as you well know, politics and economics do not mix well. The recent publicity for Botswana's "well-governed" political establishment does not bode well for any realistic economic view or transfer of goods which can supposedly be "economically" cut in Africa.
