Philip, This is (and I apologize for the strong language) sheer nonesense, but is also the rhetoric of socialists who want everybody to be poor, except themselves ofcourse. Since liberelization, national income in india has doubled and benefited everybody. Have the benefits been disproportionae? Yes? Are there still a lot of poor ? Yes. It will take half a century for india to be a decent country for most indians to live in. But only if we can prevent socialist rhetoric from turning us back from 7 to 8% growth back to the old "Hindu" growth rate of 3%. I know you guys , salivate at the thought of a stagnant indian economy, but I beleive the young generation in India is smart to see through your rhetoric and know that economic growth and jobs brings prosperity to all. --- Philip Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > < Give us a couple of decades, and our erstwhile > colonial masters will be > third-rate economies when compared to India.
