i just loved reading the comments made on this blog> India has a long way to go in regards to many factors that actually concern economy of a country. in regards to language i dont think we are properous because we speak english. many Indians live in China where as in china they hardly speak English, we learn their language and do business with them. language can be learnt and dealth with in a short period of time. India is hanging behind is only because of corruption. if these stupid ministers leave the politics to Young educated aggresive citizen, india can prosper in no time. Its because of these politicians that we have religious fights and problems.

Democracy is always good but not good when a country is divided where there is no majority and end of joining hands in like a coillition government. the stupid people didnt even let Sonia Gandhi take the stand as Prime Minister just because she was an italian at birth, what about her commitment to the country fight in the same views as her late Husband Rajiv Ghandi. she would have done a much better Job not that the present p.m isnt doing a good one himself.

China is much more developed and grows fast. Buildings built everywhere and in a very short period of time. where as in India it takes them years to even get a license to build leave alone the time it takes them to build. sadess part is India’s transport system is the worst. how will we be able to build an economy when we cant get our working force to work on time.

we have the capability to rule the world, we are smart, even our Dhabalwala’s worked in an amazing way united. the key to success is united and a systematic way and must change our politicians to the younger generation.

I feel China is going to face major problems in the future first of all most of their major population are average 40+ and are allowed 1 kid per family- their economy is driven only by the population which in the future will fall drastically. Plus their the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life the kids who pass out graduating from colleges when they come for an interview they come in with their mother (the are over protected) instead of the person looking for the job answer questions his mother answer it for him!!! ( our indian kids at age 9 are smarter in answering then the a college student in china).

well all i can say Im proud I was born in India & it will change in time( fingers crossed)

Our present growth while being wonderful, has primarily benefitted the people blogging here, i.e. the middle class.

Also the article, it mentions that the inflation figures as being low, but then that’s WPI!!!. The real inflation faced by the common man is much higher.

Also we face a current account deficit minus capital inflows from abroad. Everybody here seems to underestimate the effect on the economy if due to some reason, there is a big reduction is capital inflows. We could end up with 1991 all over again.

Indians still have not woken up to the fact that the progress they are seeing is primarily because of the service industry and predominantly because of the IT service industry.
We are becoming dependent only on the sofware part of IT and not developing an harware skills with our education system. There should be more concentartion on hardware and manufacturing in the IT industry. School should implement hardware learning programs from the primary level just as they are doing on the software level. This will create an interest in the new generation towards hardware and manufacturing.

India should become more production oreinted and also maintain the service industry simultaniuosly.
This will give it and advantage over china.

Also to speed up the progress it will be very important to reduce corruption, red tape and create a political initative towards in this direction

Thirty-one government officials from 16 African countries arrived in remote, underdeveloped northwest China’s Gansu Province on Saturday to draw on useful experiences of poverty reduction.

These officials, from countries such as Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Cote d’Ivoire and Kenya, will in the following week visit the countryside of the province to see successful poverty-reduction programs and practices there, including returning cultivated land to forests and building water cellars.

Gansu is one of the poorest provinces in China, but it has made lots of achievements in poverty alleviation – there were more than 12 million people who had no adequate food and clothing, but now, there are less than 3.2 million low-income people.

“I should thank the Chinese government for building such a communication platform which helps me understand China better. China’s ideas and policies of poverty reduction are as same as Egypt’s but the concrete ways and means are not the same. A lot of experiences worth us learning,” said Mohamed Hassan Mohamed Rashwan, from Egypt’s Ministry of Community Development.

These African officials came here from Beijing, where they have received training on poverty reduction for a week as part of a 15-day training course on poverty reduction.

At the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held last November, Chinese President Hu Jintao pledged to strengthen China-Africa cooperation through eight measures including training 15,000 personnel in all fields in the upcoming three years.

The training course is part of that commitment and also the second of its kind this year. China held four training courses last year for developing countries in Africa and south Asia.

“We will hold more such courses and exchange experiences with other developing countries,” said Wu Zhong, from the China International Poverty Alleviation Center, which organizes the training courses.

The Chinese government decided to embark on a poverty eradication campaign in a large, planned, organized manner in 1986. The number of Chinese in abject poverty has dropped from 250 million in 1978 to 26.1 million in 2004.

Thanks and “We” will continue to monitor how regime change takes place in Lanzhou and then spreads into Gansu before causing a regime change in entire China. You can start by posting a sign calling for regime change in Lanzhou’s main square.

Good luck with running the Gansu propoganda department until then.
