		Bimal Jalan's appointment as RBI governor is being viewed as an orange light of sorts
		For Bimal Jalan, the 56-year-old master blender of market economics and socialistic values -- for such is his evaluation in the world of high finance -- the governorship of the Reserve Bank of India appears to be the natural culmination of a hugely successful career.
		Jalan's forte is seen as an ability to assimilate different political approaches into a pragmatic economic policy -- and this quality, it is believed, could be crucial at a time when the country is on the verge of shifting gears on the path of liberalisation.
