I can understand the author's compulsions being a paid consultant. He was there to perform a task and being part of his job. In addition also to please his employers to a certain extent.
But I dont understand many Indians' attitude when they talk about India's progress in the 21st century they also include China! They always say 'India and China...'. Either that or they are part of "South Asia". As if for them being part of India is somehow embarrassing or not important enough.
