Come to Delhi, Chandigarh,Mumbai, Banglore, Hyderbad, Nagpur, Amristar, Aurungabad, Agra, Jaislamer, Indore, Chennai and see all the advancement in infrastrructure yousrself. Nice roads, new developments, metro rails under construction, quailty of life improving, world-class hospitals, world class universities (IIT indian institure of technolgy). Does that mean India in general is like America? No. We can barely compare our cities with that of China although Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore are fast heading there. In your post you think Bangladesh 'in terms of infrastructure' is better off!!! Yeah right. Pakistan is ahead of Bangladesh and so is Sri Lanka. India>Pakistan>Sri Lanka>Banglasdesh>Nepal>Bhutan. Sorry banglis but thats the way it is. Because some parts of your country are good does not autmatically mean you have surpassed India. SOme parts of India are goos while other parts are dirt poor, but we dont compare our selvees with other countries because we know our economic situation (very stable and strong and expected to grow +8.5% in coming years), our infrastructure development (which has recently started has is going very fast and smoothly), education campaign (need not speak. A quick look at number of doctors and engineers produced per annum will sufiice, although all Indian children need to have oppurtunity to learn), our strategic ties and military cooperation...(Russia, USA, EU all fighting for military relationship with India), size of middle class.. Larger than population of America. Poverty, and ineffectiveness in theory plus current state of infrastrucuture in rural India are the 3 primary setbacks for India's development. Now even by saying all this India still remains a rather poor nation (terms of GDP per capita) and looks rich( with GDP PPP). So yes India is super rich at the same time its poor as well. Contradictory ain't it? At least we develop unlike some other nations around us...... they just post articles of super rich rickshawers 9 ok i know thats mean) but no way can you compare any south asian nation with India and prevail. Pakistan and India are the major powerhouses of South Asia whilst BD is relativaely unimportant on the world stage. Its not trolling, its true. So before you speak of ill of India look at facts, read ecnonomy articles, subscribe to few magazines, inform yourself well and them come and post on PDF. Need not say more, Thou shalt learn thy lesson soon.
