India made some key economic reforms today.

These are some of the important ascpects. You can read about it here http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/government-approves-fdi-in-retail-and-other-big-bang-reforms-267499?pfrom=home-lateststories
Now, the opposition parties have already started crying foul, saying the government is not bothered about small merchants.
Raise of cooking gas prices(after removing subsidies) will directly tax the home budget.
Trucks have already announced 15% hike. This will ripple into essential commodities also.
Besides all these cons, how will it benefit India in the long run ?
