Yeah...there may be something in that. I was always amazed at how Indians succeed so easily in this country but these same people could barely make a living back home. My parents tell me that they had to scrape to buy me milk, yet in America we have a $3 million net worth (so far). Asain-Indians are economically the top ethnic group in this country, yet in India most of these people could barely survive. Is India lousy or the U.S. great? Is the bottle half-empty or half-full? It's so easy to succeed here, it is so hard to "make it"in India...

You, koba, as it has been proven on countless threads past, are nothing but a Muslim a-hole masquerading as an Indian. By the way, on other threads, this was proven - "Koba" is an Islamic holy city.

PROOF THAT KOBA IS AN ISLAMIC HOLY CITY

If one runs a company in India, are they allowed to operate with little or no interference from bureaucrats? Or is there always a hand appearing looking for what the Mexicans call La Mordita; the little bite? Countries with vibrant economies have governments that respect the rule of law. Those that falter often have corrupt governments who's minions bleed the economy dry looking for bribes. Mexico is a prime example. They have conditions that, on the surface, are very similar to those north of the border: Almost as large a homogeneous population, almost identical natural resources, a similar length of time independent from Europe, etc.. But their economy is hamstrung by a corrupt government and has been for decades. If Indian businesses are, like Mexican businesses, constantly having to pay off officials, then that would explain the nation's economic situation.

The answer to that is socialism and a caste system,which creates a double layer of bureaucracy designed to "keep people in their place."
