I am saying India has just come out of their Egg shell. It is a big dangerous world out there. Indian leaders and businessmen think there is only one country is this world, that is USA. If India has superior type of spiritual karma, why does India need money and power? Why does India want to be superpower? Why does India want to be biggest economy in the world (I am talking about Indian leaders, businessmen and educated people). God's people do not need money and power. Also if you try to be superpower when you are still in a egg shell, there will be serious trouble. If Rajputs would have been ruling India today then India would have been powerful and rich country today. Rajputs are warriors and extremely strong people. But now it is too late.
WRONG. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chola_Dynasty invaded and ruled Sri Lanka Bangladesh Burma Thailand Malaysia Cambodia Indonesia Vietnam Singapore Maldives More about history of Indian invasions in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Indian_history
I have been thinking for past many years that someday India will be divided into many small countries (same as Europe) because India has many languages and different cultures.
yours is a great line but unfortunately it will not be as memorable as the following line: London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained. Arthur Conan Doyle (sherlock holmes) it is still a great cesspool.
India was so rich and great they could not beat back a relatively tiny British invasion. India is such a nice place that we in the USA can't stop a massive inflow of immigrants. India 'invented calculus' yet was technologically behind for hundreds of years. Apologetics that oppose the obvious reality, the human mind's capacity for delusion is unlimited. Free trade and open immigration with places like India and China was a huge mistake.
British had battle tanks and fighter planes in 1940. British could have easily crushed Indian revolution if they wanted to but not a single British fighter plane bombed India and not a single British battle tank ran through India. To my understanding, British had come to India for trade and commerce and never wanted to rule India but India got scared and started thinking of throwing out British. Even today India thinks giant western companies and government will takeover Indian companies anytime so India does not allow more than 50% direct foreign investment in India.
There were 500+ Princely States and India never existed till Portuguese/French/British arrived in 1505. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_princely_states http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Indian_history
outsurcing justified or not will go on for at least couple of years. Then may reverse. What i dont get is this: us requires relatively strong dollar -> adjustment will have to be in lower salaries for remainig jobs -> prices of everything will have to adjust to lover levels -> taxes accordingly lower -> governmet loses. There is no real cost savings as far as i can see. Rather opposite. Whats the point of all this then ?!? Only thing i can see that companies lobbying governnments (not only US) make money on gross - net pay(charge 5k per day, pocket 4.5) , and play a bubble in outsourcing country which seem to be plagued by corruption and potential ethnic issues. Hard to believe bunch of IT outsurcing companies control governments. Hardly worth the effort. Where is the catch ?
