The Indian government will scrap 287 obsolete laws that date back to the 19th century,
when India was under British rule. India's Law Minister Ravi Prasad is
Overseeing a "clean-up" of India's legal system. He has been instructed by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi to streamline the statute book and make India an easier place in which to live
and do business. India's legislature is mired in hundreds of arcane laws introduced in the times
of the British Empire. Mr Prasad called some of the laws "laughable" and had "no place in a
modern and democratic India". Prasad has a tough task ahead of him. Even after this initial
cull, the country will still have thousands of regulations that are obstacle to business.

The repeal of the laws will take effect from November. After then, it will no longer be illegal
to fly a kite without police permission . A 1934 law classified a kite as an aircraft. A law
that is a constant source of irritation to factory owners is one that requires them to have red
buckets full of water and sand, even if their buildings are Equipped with state-of-the-art
sprinkler systems. Another oddity to go is the Motor Vehicles Act, that says a car safety
inspector must have clean teeth. Also going is the Registration of Foreigners' Act, 1939,
which requares foreigners staying in India for more than 180 days to report his/her
movements This should give a boost to India's tourism industry.
