Average show by India...we need to improve
Well, you have a population of 1.2 BILLION people to choice from so I guess that you have the prerequisites to succeed in one way or another. Most countries don't have such luxury. Aside from that then there are many successful Indians outside of India much like there are many successful Arabs outside of the Arab world. Most are not really part of their ancestors world though only by name, ancestry and maybe culture/tradition/religion if their parents have given them those tools. Among Arabs those values are very strong 99,9% of the time but I know other groups of foreigners who totally blend in and feel "inferior".
It talks about "process innovation" and similar bullcrap to increase scores for some countries. At the end of the day, where is your TV/car/camera/computer/airplane/etc. designed?
USA, UK, France, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Produced somewhere in South East Asia, Eastern Europe, Turkey, China or India where there is cheap labor and where the laws are less strict than in Western Europe/USA.
This is nothing new. Has been the case with almost everything in the last 300-500 years. Before the Middle East was the most advanced area of the world for thousands of years.
Times changes. There is no reason to believe that we cannot regain such position again. We have all the tools. Just need clever governance, clever decisions, education and more education. Well and then peace. The latter might be a little problematic.
Anyway I am positive. The amount of well to do Arabs I have encountered in the West or other non-Western Europeans is great and it just confirms that we can do the same if not even better when given the same opportunities.
Enough of ridiculous self-pity. Let us do something to change it.
Times are changing though at least in the GCC. Should have happened earlier since we have everything and most importantly the money but better late than never!
