Some states in India haven't issues new licences in years, so there's big bucks to be made by selling the licences that already exist.

I always was threatened with boarding school in Ooty when I misbehaved as a kid. It was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow because I had zero interest in living in India! #theweeklypostcardShobhahttp://justgoplacesblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484042419296070470.post-43121525265363323372015-07-19T13:44:04.446+01:002015-07-19T13:44:04.446+01:00India is an amazing country.
