Foreign Investment Ebbs in India

Hahaha...Not enough to know if the people were displaced forcefully to raise those buildings. What I am trying to get at it you have no right to use our media to criticize us when you have none of it.

It's a picture of Hongkong and I have plenty of access to unregulated media so do people in China considering the number of forums and VPNs there are.

May be people in China do but we don't have the same privilege, do we? May be people in China know about the corruption and irregularities but the world wouldn't know about it, would they? Unless someone reports it (not some state run media outlets).

I will rephrase what I said before, you have no right to criticize us based on our media reports when we don't have the luxury of doing the same thing to you. Get it.

Dumb ... Stop laughing . This article isnt fake .
Our FDI has decreased considerably . Not only ours but also of other developing countries except Brazil ..
Our FII is increasing though .


Everything is short term and reason for decline is unrest in Middle East and N. Africa .

Kerala is communist run. I'm not surprised at all. HDI is important but it doesn't reflect certain things very vital to everyday life such as public transportation. Contrary to what you say, buildings are indeed very important. Tamil Nadu and Kerala are indeed doing good on HDI, but in terms of GDP (which does not actually measure how good life is, but very roughly measures economic productivity) they're not very productive, either overall or per capita. This is why both GDP and HDI are important. Angola has a higher GDP per capita than China! However, it's HDI is typical of an african country.

Again I looked at stats for your amusement and found that the western and southern Indian states GDPs are growing at 10%+ per annum - remarkable growth. These states contribute the most to India's tax revenues. And the best thing is they are doing it without the extremely polluting, resource devastating, debt laden manufacturing ways of the Chinese, which I wouldnt want to recommend to Indians at all unless you want to live in extremely putrid air. I, for one, like the balanced growth that India is showing and the concern toward environmental protection. Also, buildings just show that heavy debt was used to build some monstrosities and have nothing to do with equity and bottom line (profits) generation, which are the real hall marks of prosperity. Silicon Valley hardly has any skyscrapers - do you want to count the number of billionaires under 40? Be my guest!

And yet Kerala's GDP per capita is still lower than that of the Congo. We may be devastating in resources, but it's not our resources. We import our resources. Silicon valley is great for an already developed economy, but it's not for a less developed one. What makes the most money is finance and nothing beats finance, yet what physical goods can finance produce? It's just paper money. What actually matters is physical goods.

Industrialization isn't environmentally friendly. That's how it works. Britain wasn't, Japan wasn't, South Korea still isn't. Also you have to think about creative accounting and how that drives up US's and India's GDP. In US for example, a car is classified as a consumer good, while in China it is classified as an investment.

Billionaires as a measure of wealth? India wins easily then, they have some of the richest people in the world. But I'm proud of China having very few billionaires.

A product that only depreciates is an investment? thats why they added " fuzzy math" to Webster. the world better catch on ...

 

[RollingStones]

Car is an investment in China? That's news to me. So, a car can go up in value and return income streams as annuity like investments do? Woah...this might be extremely creative accounting. If you do this, please dont club yourselves with us. Yes, we do some but we dont get anywhere close with such "cuckoo" accounting.
About Kerala - there are research papers as to why kerala's GDP is an anomaly - please read. But the other southern and western states are normal and have both a high GDP (South Asian standards), high GDP growth and high HDI (middle income standards). That means 4 or 5 large states in India are doing extremely well without the attendant environmental devastation caused by slave wage manufacturing as happens in China. Their minimum wages are also higher than China's are. China must raise its minimum wages and let its currency appreciate for a fairer deal to its people and its environment. Why, you may ask? Because 4 or 5 Indian states have shown the way with a sustainable development model.

Communism in Kerala is something entirely different compared to the chinese model. I know because im a keralite. And kerala is a "state" , not a "country" . Hopefully the illiterate communist party will exit from the government this term. Im really hoping for a UDF victory, that way , we might see a bit more development.

Kerala is communist run. I'm not surprised at all.

LOL......Kerala is as much a communist run state as Washington. The government in Kerala alternates between left and right wing parties every 5 years and the last time the communists finished ruling, they had successfully emptied the entire state treasury. The only reason why Kerala has not emerged as an IT powerhouse is because of some of their policies. At a time they even went on protests against the introduction of computers and now ironically, are running around trying to start IT parks. The LDF in Kerala is nothing like the commies you have in China, they are a namesake communist party which has realized that stupid communist principles have no role in today's market driven world. Next time pick on a proper communist ruled state, like maybe the glorious DPRK or the economic wonder that is Cuba. "Communist Kerala".....My A**.

And yet Kerala's GDP per capita is still lower than that of the Congo.

Again showing your ignorance about your so called communist state. Kerala has a unique pattern of development where even with a low GDP, the state has significant improvements in material conditions of living, reflected in indicators of social development that are comparable to that of many developed countries.

Green activist Richard Douthwaite states that Kerala

is far more sustainable than anywhere in Europe or North America

Author and environmentalist Bill McKibben:

Kerala, a state in India, is a bizarre anomaly among developing nations, a place that offers real hope for the future of the Third World. Though not much larger than Maryland, Kerala has a population as big as California's and a per capita annual income of less than $300. But its infant mortality rate is very low, its literacy rate among the highest on Earth, and its birthrate below America's and falling faster. Kerala's residents live nearly as long as Americans or Europeans. Though mostly a land of paddy-covered plains, statistically Kerala stands out as the Mount Everest of social development; there's truly no place like it

It has even given rise to an entire economic model known as the "Kerala Model". Read up...maybe you can get a thing or two into that empty head of yours. Oh.......... and don't mess around with" God's Own Country".

Kerala model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How dare you insult Cuba? Their citizens live longer, healthier, and more literate lives than almost all of India.

I would like to read the papers stating their wages are higher than China's.
