'Tis an "okay" read. Nothing much here except for a few motivational lines. Thank you CD. Are you sure your account isn't hacked ?
I hope there will be a forum cease-fire, for at least the new year. For EVERY nationality here.
Though I expect it will be back to normal before Chinese New Year.
Modi doesnt have a great chance at PM anyway. Remember 2004 elections and the PM drama? MMS was finally brought in as a compromise candidate. Even in case BJP wins, which is a long shot, someone else like Nitish Kumar will be brought in, for some BS reason like "avoiding hurting minority sentiments".
Even if Modi doesn't become PM, BJP can make him Finance Minister. He can do great job as FM

Time for India to rise. The demographic dividend can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how well educated your population is. Don't miss this opportunity.
It is the new year. And check the rest of my India-related threads, they are all positive anyway.
As usual while we wish the best for everyone Indians can't seem to change.Happy New Year Bro.
No, I am not.
Being hot-tempered was always my weakness.
I just thought it would be nice to start a friendly thread in the new year.
Welcome back.

Yes, I hope India and China will rise and provide leadership to the world along with other great nations.
India is not likely to rise above its environmental limits before those environmental limits begin to impose severe constraints on its development.
I'm talking oil prices, food prices, education level, pollution, soil fertility and remaining resources.
Well if India misses this demographic window, then it will be a blow to all of humanity, not just India.
On the bright side: India's demographic window is predicted to last for a long time, more than a few decades. Possibly for the entire first half of this century.
On the negative side: India has been a bit too late investing in infrastructure and education. Lack of infrastructure leads to bottlenecks, while a lack of education can turn a demographic dividend into a disaster.
You still have several decades left to capitalize on it, but only if the Indian leadership has the courage to carry through their decisions.
You are right. However steps are being taken to address this.
Trillions are being invested and being planned to be invested over the next decade. It may not yet have the spped of China, it is still quite impressive.
Our friends from Japan and China and West are going to supplement our efforts on this great joureny. With their capital and expertize.![]()
No, Yes, YesDo you think Modi would be better than Singh's Administration in terms of development?
Are you concerned that Singh is taking too many "u-turns" recently? Does Congress have the inner strength to push through economic reforms, without falling into political deadlocks?

India has grown despite the government to a large extent. A favorable government can increase our growth rates by a couple of points.
And yes, any government now will push through the reforms. It is a matter of pace.
