Each time the world’s trade ministers meet to discuss ways and means to improve the global trading regime so that it is both freer and fairer, the global anti-globalization protest industry sends shock troops to the meeting site in order to prevent the trade ministers from achieving what they set out to do.

That might not seem readily evident, especially when driving past crumbling palaces and through the dusty backroads of India’s northwest.


That is certainly not evident trekking uphill through an impoverished village to get to the Namreena Fort Palace Hotel, an old fortress guarding the pass into Rajastan. But inside the Fort, there is opulence and elegance invisible from the outside.
