any one plz put some light on this topic wat required

You're supposed to write about the liberalisation of the economy. Though the policy of protecting Indian industries gave them an advantage and kept them safe, a good economy shouldn't shy away from global competition and has to join in sooner or later, as that is its whole purpose. Hence the ship in harbour....etc.
Hope this helped and dint confuse u more...

The advancedge-MBA Dec05 issue has quite a few pointers on the XAT essay. Well, that's where I got this list of prev year XAT essays (hope posting it here isn't a copyright violation or something ):

The following is a list of the XAT Essay topics in the last six years -

1999- "Television really is another eye so you can feel and care about things you never felt and cared about before, another ear to hear strange music… The first and only international language."

2000- Ships are safer in the harbour. But they are not meant for the same.

2001- Economic Growth without distributive justice can only lead to violence.

2002- Indian Economy in the Post WTO Era.

2003- To give real service, one needs to add something that cannot be bought or measured, like sincerity and integrity.

2004- Asked at the age of 83, as to which of his project would he choose as his master piece, Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect, answered, "The next one".

2005- More than one billion Indians. A gigantic problem or a sea of opportunities?

Hope that helps.

Btw, nobody has yet posted their essay yet, but the deadline is still not over. I'll post mine nonetheless, hoping this group takes off soon.

Lemme add one for U..

2006: India has one of the largest pools of talented manpower, but still so few PhD's and research patents!

Keep up the good work..Bravo!!
Cheers

May i add to that
I gave XAT this year and all u get is bout 4/5 of a page with the topic in bold at the top. So as somebody has already pointed out u shud try and do it in three paras. Dont try and use flowery language and just try and elaborate on 2-3 points well in the middle para cos there is a space constraint.

Cheers

I don't think there is a hard and fast rule that one should write only on one side of the paper.
I wrote on both the sides... and got a call!

one thing was clear.. last year the interview panel did not have essays... so they might figure somewhere else... although i feel they were neither a part of giving interview calls.
