Why does India command respect today? The answer is obvious. It is because of the leadership provided by Mdm Sonia Gandhi, Dr Manmohan Singh and Mr Rahul Gandhi.

Do you an idea abt Indian leaving below poverty line.
shrinking india is a worrisome factor. Why did naxalism, or maoists originated?? Where do the indigenous population and culture stands? Why does dal cost 120 rs today?

Naxalism or Maoism did not originate today. It originated in the 50s and 60s when India was buiidling its "socialist pattern of society". Of course, there was less media scrutiny then and the rebellion was put down by the Congress.

Indians r said 2 hold 1.5 trillion USD in swiss banks. I can bet half of it belongs 2 Ur Madam Gandhi her son n their cronies. Look at d infrastructure mess n condition in Mumbai.its alll thanks 2 corrupt n inefficient congress. Its d private sector which has given all d growth n glory.Govt has nothin 2 do with it.Unlike china where d govt actually thinks abt d nation congress has sold off national interests everywhere.We have smaed ourselves by bowing down 2 china & pakistan.Spineless Congis r a disgrace 2 our nation
This is stupid statement. Many western people think India as a backward country as top MNCs dump their outdated products in Indian market to mint money. This guy is misjudging it as a respect, it is just business strategies that make MNCs say good things about India in press interviews. Still western people think Indians as dirty & smelly people.

Till today India do not have any strong board for judge the quality of products. Rich compnay taking huge loan from bank and purchase all food from farmers with cheap rate and sell good things to foreign country and give waste products to sell India because Indian people do not have enough money to purchase same thing as doller price, such way businessman become more richer and poor become more poorer and poor people not only did not get good food but also spend their more money to cure from dieses.

I think you have it all mixed up. The Indian export of food products is very small. The presence of foreigh companies in the supply chain is negligible. Most food is handled by primitive chains of middlemen and agents. These people do not have the expertise causing vast losses.
In West Bengal, the Forward Bloc has been in charge of agricultural marketing for the last thirty years. Have they done anything to establish a modern and organised agricultural marketing system?
We r making a big mistake. Till now, we saw only positive results because of globalization. But no one is looking at the negative results it is going to bring in near future. It's all going to competition, competition and competition. You have to keep on running and running only till the end of your life. Globalization will benefit only rich and not the poor. Rich will become more and more rich by robbing poor. At present USA is in big depression.Imagine if the same happens to india. I believe it might happen in another 5 years once china, argentina, brazil, Russia and Philippines began competiting with india on IT. It's going to impact indians heavily. Noone is looking at the negative results as noone has the time. Also big retailers will eat all small retailers and no one knows where these poor vendors are going to go. It will impact each and every indian life and there is going to be heavy distubances in indian system. Ofcourse all these are going to impact our social life also. Anyhow i believe damage is already done and it is only a matter of time on indians are going to cope up once it encounters depression like America.
People mistake Manmohan Singh's soft spoken attitude as weakness and call him a Sonia stooge.. Sure, Sonia has a great influence on not only him , but the entire India and the congress party.. Do not forget , that it was Manmohan who rescued India's economy out of the financial mess.. As a Phd in economics from Oxford, he is one of the most educated and learned politicians and has far superior knowledge of the world and Indian economy than Lalu-Modi type politicians.. He is a rare gem in Indian Politics.. He is the one who can give direction and guidance to the Indian economy in the 21st century with his knowledge and wisdom.. But it seems , the aam admi is only interested in listening to provocative and loud mouthed politicians lik lalu, modi, mamta etc..

It was not MMS but the World bank which forced India to open up its economy in lieu of the loan it had given to save us from bwing bankrupt

It may be interesting to know the men involved in the following Who stopped R&D in Uranium exploration? and when? Who surrendered the sovereignty and freedom to foreign countries by signing the N-deal? Who ordered to have Uranium based nuclear plants without ascertaining its availability for the life of plants? Who wish to make India a junk yard of nuclear waste? Who is planning to take MEGA LOANS for nuclear projects with cooked up parameters? Who is signing treaties for nuclear projects with foreign countries taking India to a debt trap? Who spearheaded the SEZ act and preaching forcefully for it? Who spearheaded the New Exploration Liscensing Policy and when? Who initiated the GHAT negotiations and when? Who arranged to sign the ASEAN FTA without the consent of his party and Parliament?
These elite business men would make any sweet talks to get their foot hold on the Indian retail business....
But think what would happen if they become strong in that area...Most of the millions of small retail shops owned by small or middle level local people will lose business.
The small retail shops may not be efficient in managing the supply chain currently but the solution is not to wipe them out and bring big companies. We can definitely reform the existing small/medium retail stores to be effective. With our population, its better and apt to have a million small or medium businesses than a few big companies worth million or billon dollar businesses.
These big companies, in the name of efficiency would just loot the people and even the manufacturers once they get the control of supply chain....Big Retail shops can make or break any brand... if a brand does not satisfy with their demands then it will be wiped out irrespective of quality or trust....
We people also should have a clear thought on this. the old saying now should be modified, Be Indian, buy Indian and Buy from Indian....Any large retail chain will be partially or fully owned by foreign companies...why should we make profit for foreign companies when our own brothers and sisters in the same business and starving.....

You should understand who is changing the world and for what purpose...If that change is going to be harmful for us, we should resist the change...
not true Indians ( the remaining 80%) like me will not agree. IT workers consider themselves Americans, Europeans, Turkish etc depending on the project , but real Indians are facing more trouble than 1990. so I diagree respectfully
we have 2 India now, this is for the 20% ( new) India not the 80% of the original India

Instead of grumbling like a cry baby, lift yourself up and make something out of your life. Dont wince like a spoilt kid for opportunities are dime a dozen in today's India
Why these idots are talking off. They are least bothered about the economical health of people or country. One Mr singh is playing gulli danda and one lalu is delivering lecture at MIT on management. The respect is due to hardwork of people of india. Do u know the history of india, they gave respect to all emporerors like Bahadur Shah Zafar etc.. what happened if u dont know go to kinder garden. People should feel the economy to be good, we dont need any certificates from US or UK
