    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    patentneer, As for the second video, Such ads in my opinion are useless. The Indian "junta" is way to callous to be influenced by such things. The only thing that these people will respond to is mortal fear. Enact the death penalty for littering and India will become the cleanest nation on...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    Yupp, that should be fine :D The only reason for my anxiousness in this regards is that I am a big fan of Shashi Tharoor and his legendary intellect (not to mention his ridiculously hot wife lol!)

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    patentneer, What I would be really interested in is knowing the estimated GDP of Gurgaon alone. How much would it be? $20-30 bn?

    ^^ Simply brilliant! Something balanced (for a change) from the usually biased and prejudiced BBC

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    Navi Mumbai is surely a big-*** greenfield development. However, I think the builder lobby has totally ruined it for all of us by erecting some of the ugliest highrises I have personally ever seen! :( This makes me sad. We had a golden opportunity to paint a totally different picture and all we...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    I do not see how that is possible. The economy actually SHRANK in real terms as the value in $ terms of our economy was reduced considerably. Although I do agree that export market is going to be better for SOME companies, it will not be good at all for many industries that import raw material...

    Pakistanis becoming less Anti-Indian, but do Indians reciprocate?

    This is going to be a long one, simply because I have a lot of points to make. You are incorrect. Do you not realize this very basic fact that an unstable Pakistan is NOT in India's interest? Our politicians are stupid but they are not THAT stupid. This is a well known fact among the...

    How much would a QuadCycle cost vis-a-vis a rickshaw? I do not think rickshaws will go away so easily, rickshaw walas have had their income slashed in recent years due to increasing fuel prices and other factors so they cannot afford these I think. This will require a big change, like emergence...

    No objections :). Even if I had, I will shut up about it because it is peoples' right. What I am doing is disagreeing with your point of view. Nothing more, nothing less. Addendum: I also disagree with then view that India will totally fail and everything will go kaput. This is also an extreme...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    Right. 10+% growth for the next 10 years will solve almost all problems related to poverty. Why I see this as less likely right now is that somehow the government is so damn reluctant to push through some critical economic reforms? Why? I have been wondering about this for a long time and have...

    It is always good to be an optimist, but once in a while, do try to be a realist. We WILL grow but the growth will not be fast enough. We can sit here and speculate all we want but let us wait for 2020 and see. I see you are in Canada. Why are you there if you are so gung-ho about India? Why not...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    The problem with this country is that there are way too many people! It is an unpleasant shock as to how many people are packed into an area that is day by day proving to be quite inadequate to handle them all. It is a vicious circle really. The more people you have, the "quality" of people...

    India Developing, but still a long way to go

    Well all this does sound a tad bit optimistic actually. Not saying for one bit that this is impossible, but surely the odds are stacked against us. If history is teaching us a lesson then it is surely a harsh one. When the odds are stacked against us, more often than not we falter. Will we...

    Hmmm.. Well it is true that most rail equipment in India is actually made in India. That in itself is not the reason for Hyd metro to become top notch. Our rail infra is not exactly known to be top quality you know :). In fact most rail equipment and engines manufactured in India is crappy at...

    Al Qaeda executes 3 men for not knowing prayers

    I am a gujju, born and brought up in Gujarat. I have experienced the riots first hand, I was right there on ground zero. In-bred Pa*is like you will never understand why the riots happened simply because your Wahhabi mindset shrinks your IQ by about 50 points. Nope, 3000 people were killed in...
