me ,me,me,me,me.Guys pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese stay on topic and ignore all those chini, balwinder or whatever.
Anyway coming back to topic,
Who here votes for Retail in FDI.
Deputy PM,Home Minister is good.
But I'd love to see Montek Singh as the FM.
Even in China, the majority of growth comes from the private sector. The big state-owned companies make the headlines, the small and medium enterprises make the growth rates.
I get really confused by the politics in India. First everyone was jumping up and down about the BJP, now they seem to hate them?? Same with that Anna guy, do people hate him now?
Leaders should be elected on capability and efficiency. In India it seems to be a PR game (like in the West)... and the funny thing is that Congress has really bad PR even though everyone says they control the media!
IRNSS IN 2012 ?
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.
New Recruit
well from ur list i doubt ARJUN MK2 & but i am pretty sure about mmrca deal (LOL)Well I'm assuming you are also including IAF and Indian Navy in it. So the following things are also coming up in 2012:
1) A new assault rifle
2) Attack helicopters for IA
3) MMRCA deal
4) Arjun MK2 trials
5) Nag Helina?
There must be few more things that I missed. Other forum members may enlighten us.![]()
Is that a hope, a wish or just your thinking.
Where there is a challenge, there is an opportunity lurking somewhere.
And we have enough bright and energetic people who will seek out those opportunities and convert them. They have been doing it for the last 6 decades and the process has only accelerated in the last 2 decades.
I am here, I can tell you of the enormous change over the last two decades. Many have begun to appreciate it, some have still not caught up.

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 its the stagnating grain yields, depreciating rupee, and poverty reduction that's not going forward that's most worrying about India.
stagnating grain yields --- no its not exactly stagnating ... its increasing but at a lesser rate, mainly coz of industrialization ... more n more farmers in poorer part of india is leaving farming and becoming migrant laborers
depreciating rupee -- actually it helps in making indian manufactured goods more cheaper and hence more competitive in international market and also ... thr are record no of inflows from NRIs both in NRE and NRO accounts ... and these increasing inflows has actually reduced india's overall account deficit from 3.7 to 3.6 percent
Poverty Reduction --- actually India is reducing poverty faster than any other lower middle income country than in whole world ... and schemes like NREGA is heavily subsidizing food and fuel to lower income groups, NREGA will prove to be a big burden in longer term(mainly coz congress wants thr vote bank on the cost of development) but still this will make life easier for lower income group... NREGA is a 100 billion $ food and fuel aid program
here's where we differ...
i think grain yields are plateuing because of constraints on water and oil, not because of farmers leaving. China also has farmers leaving.
depreciating rupee will increase competitiveness of Indian manufactured goods on the sales end, but in increased prices for inputs at the production end and wage pressures due to lowered purchasing power for both domestic consumers and workers.
