*** Where does India's WEALTH come from Nayan? Are you aware ( why am I asking this?) that for nearly a quarter century after independence, the eastern region was India's primary foreign exchange earner? Tea and jute. Oil did not get exported but saved forex. But of course YOUR studying did not inform you of that. *** Oh, is that what you are banking on for Assam, Indian handouts? A beggar's future is not very bright if you did not realize. What I got, should have been available to hundreds and thousands more. Assam's primary education is a joke. Secondary education is a farce. WHO do you think is responsible for it? Those who do not STUDY? Is that your best Nayan? One could not present oneself to be more ignorant if one tried. > DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE *** Take a wild guess mister. >>NOBODY SAYS IT > > WAS, *** Speak for yourself. Rajib implied I owe it to IIT to be able to come to the USA, that it was India's GIFT to me. >> BUT ONE SHOULD REMEMBER, THE COLLEGE WAS INDIAN. *** And thus, they owed it to me---and all those others who were not as lucky as I was to be given a sound education, at home, by our parents. I will have you know that you find precious few Indian families, from the backwoods of the sub-continernt, that sent not one, not two, but three successive siblings to that God's gift to tech. education: IIT. How conme you couldn't go? Or your kinds coudn'yt. Too stupid? Too lazy? Or was it because you giuys did not get the opportunity to have the basic education that would have prepared you to compretye with those others that did. Do you know, that the vast majority of IIT entrants used to be products of elite Christian missionary schools? >>INFACT THE VERY THOUGHTS YOU ARE EXPRESSING NOW WERE NURTURED IN AN INDIAN > > SCHOOL/COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY *** If I do, I must be a freak.
