I dont read business newspapers that much in any case nowadays..
TOI Mumbai is pretty good i think... Remember the editorial really comes from the one or two guys writing it... I believe those who read Hindu do not read TOI Mumbai... Yes its full of other crap... But some of the editorials are good too...
They are definitely higher paid than Hindu So they better write better than that southern newspaper...
I think some of you need to be reminded that China is the real thing...
The 20th century belonged to the US and the 21st century will belong to China.
India... Will continue to worship the Gandhi family and form committees and make common minimum programs to accomplish the absolute minimum and guarantee jobs to all the losers in india making it to 5% of the world trade by the time you die (of the rain?)
thanks,

Hi Buddy...
Not sure why you are getting so pessimistic about our country...
I agree that China is doing good but does not agree with "China is the ONLY real thing".
Politics is dirty every where on this earth... So should not lament about the fact about the Gandhi worship (which is unfortunately true)
Agreed that right now our development is getting restricted to IT and related services but one cannot ignore the fact that the capital it is pumping into our economy will slowly extend to other strata of our society.
After successful outsourcing of IT services, America is seriously considering outsourcing of manufacturing sector to India (given the cost benefits).
True that open markets will make our local business to suffer but I strongly disagree that our companies are going to surrender to that pressure. I think in long run our companies will emerge as stronger player in global economy.
Our main problem is of capital (not even population density). Socalist policies of 40 years (till 1990) worked as a termite to our capital. I am not exactly saying that the policies were defective but somehow it didn't work out.. May be defective leadership or licenceraj.
After signing to open our markets to world, we are now in a position (after 15 years) to fight for equal play field.
We have surplus foreign reserves.
America is getting advantage of labour cost from English speaking community. So outsourcing is bound to increase whether one like or not.
Technologically we are among the advanced countries in the world.
Given the history of just 55 years of independence (out of which first 40 were of almost socialist economy) I would say its an impressive performance.
In those 55 years we have faced 3 wars imposed on us by our friendly neighbours.
I am not saying we are doing really good but every country has its own share of problems and good point here is we are not sitting idle and doing nothing.
We are in a position to integrate our economy with American economy and thus reaping benefits out of that. We are doing whatever we can..
I don't think Business enterprises here will be ignorant enough to let go the first mover benefits to China.
There is still lot of work to be done which should be done in the coming years..
Our country's economy is still developing and I am gald to be part of such a country..
