Of all the "educated" people one can meet in India, many working hard to prove Chidambaram is right, isn't it amazing that all you seem to have found were the cynics. > Lakshmi Mittal for example took an industry that all the "educated" people said was doomed in the west and found a way to make it a spectacular success. So much for "educated" people. > >From your comments it is obvious that you, and the other "educated" cynics you cite feel superior to an "uneducated" person like Bill Gates, who not only shares Chidambaram's optimism, but is actually betting, WITH HIS OWN MONEY, that Chidambaram is right. In the meantime, you are "waiting to see". >
