LoL, this morbid fascintion of people with toilets in India seems that Indian potty is in pretty good demand
And for the Indian fellows reading this, please know that these attacks regarding toilets and poverty and what not will only get worse. It happens all the while when people start taking notice. When you start rising, such focus will only increase because your not having enough toilets is maing some other people dumping bricks in their potty.
Having enemies and critics is a good thing. That means that you are doing something right that the world is taking notice of. And look at the bright side in the stats.
India has 2nd largest number of telephones in the world. Means that mobile telephony in India is taking off and will just increase tremendously. Imagine the kind of investment and revenue that will bring to the country. Do you remember the crap that Huawei and ZTE were dumped with in India. Well take it from me, they had to face the music with the chin up. Only because whatever the Chinese fellows say about the toilets in India, simply their companies have to get on their knees and work with India for the mobile telephony market.
Another stat that has been the favourite around is poverty. Face it. We have a lot of it and we do not need any one else to tell us. There is a lot of improvement that needs to be done and we are on the right track. Imagine if we reduce our poor by 10%, we add half a trillion to the GDP of the country. So irrespective of the fact that China has a poverty line of 1.25 USD per day compared with India's 2.00 USD per day. Irrespective of the fact that the poor in India look pretty well off when you see the PPP evaluation versus any country in South Asia, (that will now give diarhoeaa to the jolly Pakistanis
) it is a simple fact that we have a lot of poor in this nation. And by doing the things that we are doing - better & right - we will just continue to grow less poor and more strong.
Then there will be time when the toilets and poverty will not be an issue. But.... be assured, there will be other ones by then. See why it is said that jealousy needs to be earned!
And look at the bright side. At least our potty is not in news because of amazing self imploding events
Article from the Sydney Morning Herald‎?
Here is one from the BBC:
BBC News - Why India will not become a superpower
I think Indians take it more seriously when it comes from Westerners rather than from Asians.
You think wrong. We already know the kind of poverty that we have in the country. Our budget yesterday reflected the importance of the same.
And by the way, are the chinese females now able to have their children in Hong Kong or are you guys still fighting for the economic discrimnation of the fellows from mainland?
