@Southie

Hanibal, I agree - India should do much better. Education system is focused more on memorization - not thinking ability. Creativity, innovation, infrastructure, R&D etc - is strength of US.

One thing I have noticed, the young people from India today are really confident. This was not present say 20 years ago. Since I do not live there, I cann kind of detec this difference in attitude. And atitude probably counts for a lot.

I also try not to knock India too hard from abroad - very easy to poke a lot of holes in India’s strength story - poverty, corruption, non-level playing field, money to get into engg schools, under the table money for house etc.

Looking beyond these issues, I see progress. But all of your points are valid.

(As for US reference, I am going to put all the blame on Player, who brought US into the picture!!!)

i am just trying to make the point, this is story of whole south asia and not anyone country of this region…the region has great potential but the policy maker seems to be too short sighted or highly incompetent who cannot make policies to exploit the potential of the human and natural resources existing here…

anyway, lets hope for the better tomorrow and prepare for worst as from the current leadership of South Asia nothing good is coming out…at least not from last 200 years
