The paper examines the long withstanding political debate of allowing 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi brand retail in India. It has been vehemently opposed to protect the interest of the small and medium retailers.  The study proposes that the dual nature of Indian retail sector has a crucial role to play in protecting the small retailers. Organised sector will largely cater to the upper income group whereas unorganised retailers would continue catering to the lower income groups in the near future.
