I just attended a one-day event marking India's 60th Anniversary in Singapore. It was relatively small affair but for Singapore noteworthy since it is trying to figure out how to ride the global and regional wave. The usual foreign policy bureaucrats were there with an assortment of academics from India and here. The general picture was one of optimism and the various speculative but reasonable assessments about regional rivalry between India and China.
But then there is the other India. http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/08/29/asia/letter.php?WT.mc_id=newsalert I should warn though Bihar is a case by itself.
