While a little more discipline might not hurt in India, even as we let people work out the benefits of jobs versus blind ideology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-28767726541282339712008-08-28T01:10:00.000-07:002008-08-28T01:10:00.000-07:00Really well written piece, Ajai.Really well written piece, Ajai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-30825388853735904872008-08-26T06:11:00.000-07:002008-08-26T06:11:00.000-07:00If the best areas of delhi are compared to the jun...If the best areas of delhi are compared to the junk of newyork or tokyo, we will declare delhi to be a more advanced city. Does anyone visiting any country ever care to visit places which are poverty ridden and Dirty?<BR/><BR/>But point taken, if we say we are better than china in terms of overall development and standard of living, we would be lying. But the rich-poor divide is pretty huge. So your aam-chinki enjoying a better life is not right. They work 18-20 hours in their factories so that the whole world gets cheaper goods.. <BR/><BR/>Having said that, even in US, the divide between rich and poor is staggering. So I think we should just ignore the poor, wherever we go, and be proud of the urban development.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-90898392625471594582008-08-26T05:38:00.000-07:002008-08-26T05:38:00.000-07:00Good job.

They walked into killing zones which the Vietnamese had prepared for them . <BR/><BR/>India should have resolved to take back Aksai Chin and other areas and pressed hard in 1971 when the Chinese were very weak and wobbly . <BR/><BR/> You can't see the Wall from near space or outer space either , let alone the Moon !Let's not build a spindly legged local bully into a World Power , it isn't !<BR/><BR/>Pucca GhatiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-42276385982768630502008-08-26T03:21:00.000-07:002008-08-26T03:21:00.000-07:00looks like you've bought into the propaganda more ...looks like you've bought into the propaganda more than anyone else, mr shukla! this is drivel. the chinese state has no intricate contradictions that don't show up clearly from the olympics. and what of the fate of the chinese athletes who lost? we've heard some horror stories. and the way you end your piece superbly proves how hard you've been bought by chinese propaganda. you're lost, son!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
