^^^ ? Elaborate please, thank you Also, on a side note, I do not agree with you when you say the middle east is bosom buddies with India. Far far far from it. Arabs hate us and we hate them right back. The only Muslim countries that we have a good relationship with is Indonasia / Malayasia /...

@Bombaywalla, Awesome pics man! Netaji Subhash airport is possibly one of the most unique airports in the world! Printing the Geetanjali on the roof was a creative masterstroke.

indexmundi.com :yahoo: Plus economist.com These figures should be pretty reliable I think. That is the problem see.. country data is available, state/city data is not. There is no way to smartly break it up as well. The only thing we can say is "Maharashtra contributes the most, MP the least"...

@patentneer, $ 1/4 Trillion(i.e. 250 BN) PPP or Nominal? Pak's GDP PPP is almost $490 BN. If you are talking nominal then it would be totally awesome! In PPP terms it would be more than 600 BN I think but don't think that is possible. Anyone else has any more data?

Yupp, pakka Barodian to the core! I live in the old walled city, near tower chaar rasta. Lived there all my life until I moved to the States. Family still there though. All, Just curious about something, I have not had data about this in a long time. What is the current GDP PPP of Mumbai? It...

@patentneer, What the hell are those "Club House" towers? Never seen/heard of them before.

Dude what the f***! That is my home town! :D Are you from Baroda too? Your avatar says Mumbai...no one posts pics of Baroda, it is too small and unknown. Please don't!! What does a zoo got to do with development? This is completely childish.

I would not dismiss Iran as a side show :) I think the country has a massive liberal society that is hidden behind layers of religious fundamentalism (I know I have many Iranian friends, both men and women). Their "Ayatollah" will not last long I think. Pakistan is another issue. They seem to be...

Thank god. Now move along

Yes I did. What exactly do you propose to do about it?

*Mostly* Multimedia. Some discussions are a must. You are no one to dictate how people run this thread, as long as they keep things civilized.

President, Dude are you kidding me, listen to yourself! Canada is NOT a 2nd world country, only a blind man would say that!! In fact it is far better run than USA. I would rank Argentina and Latin American countries including Mexico as second world. No way Canada.

patentneer, You say 6135 is 1/3 more than India which makes India's GDP per capita around 4600. I doubt it is that much, the last time I checked statistics (some months ago) it was 3700. Anyway, I actually do not agree with your view that growth in IT has trickled down to the masses. What...

Finally, A sensible, thoughtfull discussion on the nuances of India's development model. patentneer, I agree that what we have achieved with IT/ITES and allied services is nothing short of phenomenal. However, as someone around here rightly pointed out, it is a largely elitist growth that...

patentneer, Our ppl don't do what? Did not get that. On a more balanced note however, I see Gurgaon's development as largely unplanned. Physical infrastructure has just not kept pace with the rise in population and the builder lobby has taken full advantage of this by charging exorbitantly...

patentneer, Good article about NCR. I strongly believe that most of the criticism of the Indian IT industry, especially from Pakistan is because of nothing other than pure jealousy. Many here on PDF simply cannot fathom the fact that we have come so so far! This is the sole reason people such...

patentneer, I salute Ruchi Sanghvi, she reminds me of my own cousin sisters and mom! Yeay!
