I thought Fiji, barbados, maldives, and bahamas put together actually had a total population same as that of any street in India.

we have made such figures due to the population.
kindly make comparison accordingly and not just to flaunt figures.

for example, the combined strength of the forces is 1.3 million - but this is against what population ?

for example, Indian Railways employs some 1.4 million - but this is against what population ?

for example, India's textile industry offers direct employment to some 35 million people in the country - but this is against what population ?.

what is the ratio..... please compare and then boast of figures.

Rediff deleted my message because is I said a billion population has been the bane of the nation. When sachin hits some runs a billion hands clap, when india plays cricket a billion hearts beat as if a smaller population of another country does not matter. A billion people half of them hungry, half of them naked, with no shelter, a billion people spoiling the walls with paan stains. a billion people shishi-tting in the open, a billion people encroaching the forests and blaming elephants and causing tiger population to dwindle. Please stop talking about numbers.

Already messed 2-3 times by china and in mumbai carnage
combined strength of India's armed forces is 1.3 million but it can be easily defeated by much smaller army of country like israel.

I like your name Col. Especially since it comes from such an old and forgotten, but beautiful film, and is an ode to Ashok Kumar!
