In my never humble opinion, you have gone way beyond skepticism and are deep into the realm of cynicism about the future of India. > Not only can I extrapolate your cynicism I have done so using you own words. A couple of obligatory comments to the contrary cannot drown out the essence of your expectations and concerns. > There are literally millions of Indians, and industrialists and business people from around the world not only expecting great things from India but actually doing business in India, NOW, and investing their own time and money NOW, to make Chidambaram's vision a reality. I recently posted a video clip of an ABC news reporter who was awestruck at the economic activity going on amid the squalor we all know about. > No one has been a bigger critic of India's lack of civic sense on this forum than I have. I believe that will come with time and education and prosperity. Britain, for example, was a smelly and squalid mess before its Industrial revolution. > Manmohan Singh, the architect of modern Indian economic policy, is trying desperately to keep the "liberalization" on track against strident opposition from the communists and socialists who want to keep India mired in hopelessness. > You, on the other hand, want to put a negative slant and tone on all this by reporting that "educated" people, by which you mean people who agree with your cynicism, think Chidambaram is dreaming, whereas "uneducated" people, by which you mean anyone who disagrees with you, are the only people who seem to agree with him. I am with the uneducated people if this is so. > You want to "wait and see". The people who will help India achieve it's potential don't have the time to "wait and see". They are too busy doing what needs to be done NOW and benefitting everyone. > You are free to express whatever opinion you choose, and I reserve the right to rebutt any opinion I choose to as well. Isn't that what a forum is all about? >
