Don't you know that Goanet has archives because of which you can obfuscate all you like, but your past assertions can also be exposed? > The impediments I spoke of are to India's "super-power" status, not "super economic" status. I referred to the impediments as mainly social, like a lack of civic sense and a lack of respect for others. I also said that the infrastructure was "lagging". I have previously argued that aggressivly addressing the infrastructure would create an additional economic boom to that already taking place in India.. > About India's economic achievements I said "India's rapid economic growth can be plainly seen by anyone open to the facts." > On the other hand, what you "kept saying" was that India's economic progress was "a myth", the expectations in India of super-economic-status were "premature", that the "educated" people that only you seem to find when you visit India were "sceptical" about Chidambaram's vision of India's economic achievements, and that only the "uneducated" people in India believe in Chidambaram's vision of super economic status. > Here it is in your own words in http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2006-May/042091.html, "Re the often said view of India making huge economic progress to super-power status, I can't help feeling, following a recent visit, that this is a myth at present." > In http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2006-May/042157.html you said, "...there is much, including statistical evidence of grinding poverty among millions, severe undernourishment of 57 million children, lack of quality control etc which makes the hoped for economic super-power status a bit premature..." > In http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2006-May/042224.html you said, "I very much hope that Finance Minister P Chidambaram is right about India's economic progress. Many educated people I recently met in India were rather sceptical about his convictions. However, the lesser/least educated seemed to take him at his word." > In http://shire.symonds.net/pipermail/goanet/2006-May/042298.html you said, "Clearly, you are not able to tell that there is a big difference between my stated scepticism about the imminence, repeat, imminence, of Indian economic advancement to super-economic status and your choice of terminology about my "relentless cynicism about the outcomes" of Indian economic advancement ...etc." >
