American retail 1 giant Wal-Mart is even closer to setting up a chain of supermarkets across India in partnership 2 with Indian mobile phone company Bharti Enterprises, and many people in India are not happy about it. Bharti chairman Sunil Mittal told reporters that they were very close to finalizing 3 the deal, and that there were "zero" regulatory hurdles 4. Small shopkeepers and India's communist party protested a tour of Indian stores by Wal-Mart executives, burning an effigy 5 dummy 6 of the company and waving signs that said "Save Small Retailers 7" and "No FDI in Retail". FDI stands for "Foreign Direct Investment"; according to a representative of the India FDI Watch coalition 8, "We believe Wal-Mart is going to ruin this country and millions of people will lose their jobs".
