Anybody see any harley's on Indian roads? The Dyna and Softail are priced beyond 10 lac. That's beyond my dreams. Maybe the roadster for 7.5.

Agriculture accounts for less than half of rural GDP, as of 2007-08. However, I disagree with the article suggesting that rural residents don't have to migrate to cities for higher standard of living. Rural areas will saturate very quickly in terms of whatever standard of living they can provide. U...
