^ why not? It has worked so far... Yes, what the journos don't understand, is there is a difference between the world they would ideally like to see and the reality we have to live with.

Wrote this article for SwarajyaMag: India’s PPP GDP Growth: Is This The Most Underrated Part Of Its Economic Story?

Thank you for your educative post Saar, learnt something. I suspect China is doing the same with India as well, and dumping a whole range of goods via other countries, which could explain at least in part our sluggish growth in MFG. Indian FTAs with SE Asia have been used as a conduit to route Chin...

Different dynamics. Language is a big differentiator. People coming from outside the USA usually cannot speak English. Even if they speak english, their accent or dialect marks them out as not native to the USA. Adults are therefore out of luck if trying to pass off as a citizen. Now, education is ...

The USA diplomats have a right to go talk to people. Any ties of concern are likely being monitored. We should be increasing our own diplomatic investments dramatically.

It doesn’t make sense to me why the US will involve itself in installing a hard-line Islamic government.

The problem with newer airports is this. They can never be the originating point for long distance destinations (distances upwards of 500 kms). The traffic simply does not exist. The air travel for distance upto 500 kms too is not viable as it takes a minimum of 6 hours. A journey such as Chennai-Ba...
