Dear MC, I would like to get a few things out of the way first.
My giving opinions on Assam.org is not intended as a contest between you and me or others. Views posted here are all personal views. Sometimes we are wrong and at others we are right. Thats where it stands. My only comment on this particular topic was about the effects of spending, which you categorized as a 'theory'. I did not think it was nor did I claim it to be one. I posted the comment more as one more facet of corruption of public funds. Santanu, who is actually an economist, gave us some good explanations and with good analyses. > Are you sure you can stand my scandalizing India's total failure in all > fronts .And what needs doing? What does that mean? My comment in no way even talked about this aspect. You can scandalize India and all its progress to kingdom come. That is up to you. And it does not affect "me" in the least. You have your views, and others have theirs. I respect your views. The Assam org is capable of accommodating both. My views are obviously different from yours. Have a good day. --Ram On 8/30/05, mc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are you sure you can stand my scandalizing India's total failure in all > fronts .And what needs doing? > If I get a good many 'AYE's-- I will = pl.-give me a few days. > mm > > > >From: Ram Sarangapani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: mc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >CC: ASSAMNET <[email protected]> > >Subject: Re: [Assam] BWeek- 500% growth in India - if corruption > >gone;private limite... > >Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 08:28:29 -0500 > > > >mm, > > > >I already acknowledged that "I am be wrong" and differed the matter to > >economists we have on the net.
