of wisdom scintillating on their 1962 butt scar(which will ache for centuries I bet). This time the author is former CEO of Procter & Gamble India and seems to be a regular contributor to hindu publications or sites:
--Like over-population, gov corruption/ inefficiency is actually a BLESSING:
"Because the Indian state is inefficient, millions of entrepreneurs have stepped into the vacuum. When government schools fail, people start private schools in the slums, and the result is millions of 'slumdog millionaires'. You cannot do this in China..."
-- The next time one sees a hindu kid with swollen belly,tell him/her to delay biological growth for a generation and things will be fine from that on:
" I was reminded of a conversation with my mother. She had asked, what is the difference between China growing at a rate of 10% and India at 8%? I replied that the difference was, indeed, very significant. If we were to grow at 10% we could save twenty years. This is almost a generation. We could lift a whole generation into the middle class twenty years sooner. She thought for a while and then said gently, "We have waited 3,000 years for this moment. Why don't we wait another twenty and do it the Indian way?"
