Do you need to post this type of self-praised articles by Indian or some Western stupid press again and again. These articles only make Indian more pathetic in our eyes .
India, in the past, now and future, is only a minor player in South East Asia, not any more significant than Thailand, Phillipines or Malaysia. Your low average IQ are not up to the standard. The Chinese in South Asia are in totally different position. Educate yourselves a little and you will know what I mean.
If India want to play the game in the area, it will always have lower hand, because what India have to offer us?. India has required technologies and capital from South East Asia and can only exchange with low-cost manual labors, nothing more. Do not post some succesfull names of Indian people here, because successful ones exist in all races and people. India in the eye of most South East Asian is no better than sub-saharan Africa. Even sub-saharan African countries, in general, are better off than India in many aspects, at least for now. Try to build your country into a decent one like Thailand, and change the image of India about a sea of poverty and hunger like a Thai forum member said, and then start talk about your presence in SEA.
