PP check it again, no one died of hunger in ages. India produces more then it can consume. the problem is with the distribution. And yes 120b means a lot.
I posted that figure in response to SC who quoted that india has 90b debt. There is no need of foreign aid if india can use its resources properly.
And hundreds of years of exploitation by british and 50 years of poverty wont go away overnite. everything takes time and the wheel has started turning now.
And again indians are not as obssessed with pakistan as much u think. since this is a pakistani board then ofcourse we not gonna discuss an issue in manipur or mizoram.
by the way i prefer bharat. though i have nothing against any other names. each and every one is fine.

i have to agree with most of the stuff in your post…India is making efforts in right direction and the only reason those efforts are showing some results is because India has democracy for last 50 years. I also agree that it will take some time to get rid of hundreds of years of exploitation. It takes a lot of effort to become a Policeman from a Bhangiee. But at least Bhangiee is trying its best and we should give the due credit. Remember, the examples of bhangiee and Policman are only provided to clear my point.

whats the use of a seat in the SC when so many people still starve in poor states like orissa? i guess it is more of a status symbol.. hell yeah but then china was no better when it joined the unsc in the 50s.. in fact they sucked big time then.. they had a repressive regime under mao and they specialized in flogging peasants to death

both china and india going in right directions to improve their people’s lives

Prediction: India, China will be economic giants

wahh aloopratha…what a great logic to defend your arabic brothers…i hope you were being sarcastic…

Actually I wasn’t being sarcastic. Sorry if the truth hurts. I have lived in Dubai for 3 years and travel there at least nine times a year on business. This is how Arabs think. I repeat, if Arabs really cared about life or death or help, there would be no Palestinian problem to talk about.

@desibanda

does that explain why there are so many arab terrorists??

Probably. Besides not being afraid of death, they probably see themselves as martyrs etc. Each to their own. As they say, 'There’s nowt queer as folk".

Hindust****an takes UN aid for tsunami victims 13-01-2005

That should teach the Hindu extremists not to get too cocky next time. Did they get carried away by day-dreaming the ‘rich’ image of Hindustan created by Bollywood, was somehow real? Lol.

I say, get back in the poverty line and beg the whole World for more aid because your going to need it (don’t forget the $90 Billion debt that the Hindustan owes).

I read a very interesting article today in the Financial Times on the subject of Aid. It is interesting to note that countries that owe huge amounts in sovereign debt also have huge trade surpluses and foreign exchange reserves. India and China being classic cases. They have sufficent liquid resources to fund trade in hard currency yet have to pay back significant amounts in debt repayment. Unfortunately I can’t get an on-line link to the article, but if you buy a copy of the FT, or get hold of it in a library, assuming you live in the UK, then it will change your perception of Aid.

From memory, India refused Aid for aids sake, but said that it would need help in the latter stages of disaster management. Therefore not a good idea to condemn India off-hand. I still maintain that India’s mature response to the crisis should be a lesson to all Pakistani amateur politicians.
