I am Lucky..Aint' I

woooh am I soo popular to have a District in my Name...:-D

Now now ppl, I can See ya...Dont u go to Google and type ur name there to see what u get :P

In passing, saw this Interview on Rediff

India was the greatest wastage of manpower

Some of his comments that caught my eye..
Do you agree with the view that democracy in India makes reforms profound and brings in less disparity in society than it is in China?

I would not agree at all.

India was never unified under one ruler anytime in its history. With all the dialects and all the languages, democracy is the only thing that will work here.

For 2,500 years a ruler is ruling China. The Chinese will have to chalk out their own course. In China government-led reforms has reached the people. So let us not be childish and ask which is better. It is meaningless.

(American basketball star Yao Ming (who is Chinese) cannot do what I can do, I cannot do what Yao Ming does. Who is better -- that is ridiculous. Tell Yao Ming to do gymnastics, tell me to do basketball -- it's ridiculous. Let's be men, let's not be boys!

Besides the predictable answer of infrastructure, what are India's problem areas?

Ideology. Socialism is still ingrained in the minds of many in India. The fact that you have democracy means that the policy of one group can be voted out the next time. This also means that politicians will have to be hankering for votes. These are the realities of democracy.

And that does not say anything good or bad about another system.

So, while saying that you are good doesn't mean that I am bad. So if you are bad, doesn't mean I am good. You are you, I am me!

Not that I agree with him...but yeah...he probably missed the most imp point..
Democracy gives u the option to do something
Communism rather, takes the option away from you..

Hmm...maybe that isnt too big a thing for him...having grown with that all his life..:-)
