If a govt. does not have enough money to repay it's citizen, how will it invest in essentials like infrastructure, education etc? The only way for it to repay the debt (internal or external) is to raise funds through other means (tax increases, spending cuts etc.). This results in slowdown in...

The problem is that India has HUGE internal debt.

Well that explains it :lol:

Look at it as a % of GDP, a real eye opener. No wonder countries like the UK are having to take austerity measures. @Gounder: The concept of Euro is fine if the participating countries have equivalent economies. Having developing nations in the Eurozone is just not feasible.

Be careful of what you recommend, it might backfire spectacularly. Last time you tried something like that, Lasith Malinga decided to retire from tests and play in the IPL.

You can export because per capita consumption of Mango is far lesser in Pakistan.... Anyways, enjoy your exports.

I had the opportunity to go to India's first Comicon in Delhi in Jan. Amazing experience, although I was disappointed by the scale (I thought there would be more publishers).

Hmmm, looks like the family is caught in cross-fire, and the soldier is trying to talk to them and guide them to safety. The gun is pointed nowhere, and the children are staring at something far away.

Dude, in a way he is also correct. Hindus consider everything around them as pious. So we have an Agni dev, Dharti mata, Vayu dev etc. We even consider our parents to be sacred. That's why the word for mother, 'Ma' or 'Mata', is sacred to us.
