TECH TALK: The Best of 2005: Chindia
12. Business Week
13. Fortune Fortune, too, had a series of stories of India in a recent issue. It wrote in its November 4 issue: “India, by contrast, is the global economy's idiot savant. It excels at the impossible, turning out hundreds of thousands of brilliant engineers a year. Its software houses manage complex data across thousands of miles of undersea cable for the world's most sophisticated clients. India has world-class business leaders and, unlike China, solvent banks. And yet India flubs the obvious stuff. The national roadway network is a shambles and the power grid even worse. Nearly a third of India's population—and more than half its women—can't read or write. India has moved grudgingly to lower tariffs and balked at turning money-losing state-owned enterprises over to the private sector. Red tape and corruption discourage foreign investment, as do restrictions on how firms deploy workers.” 14. Stephen Roach Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley captured the essence of the India success story in an October newsletter: “India is on the cusp of something big. After my third trip there in 18 months, I am as enthusiastic about India as I was about China in the late 1990s. While comparisons with China are inevitable, the case for India is very different. What excites me the most is the potential for an increasingly powerful internal consumption dynamic -- an ingredient sorely missing in most other Asian development models, including China. India’s constraints -- infrastructure, saving, foreign direct investment, and politics -- are well known. Yet on this trip, I saw visible progress on most of those fronts. Moreover, the consumption story -- the organic sustenance of sustainable growth and development -- casts India in a very different light… Don’t get me wrong -- the Indian consumer is hardly a powerful force on today’s global stage. As the accompanying chart shows, India’s per capita income and consumption levels are about half those of China’s. But it is growth at the margin that always drives powerful macro and market trends. And the Indian consumption story is, first and foremost, one of accelerating growth off a low base.” Tomorrow: Entrepreneurship and Management Related Entries: [All]TECH TALK: The Best of Tech Talk 2005: Emergic Ecosystem and Netcore [December 30, 2005] TECH TALK: The Best of Tech Talk 2005: Abhishek [December 29, 2005] TECH TALK: The Best of Tech Talk 2005: SMEEMs, India and Entrepreneurs [December 28, 2005] TECH TALK: The Best of Tech Talk 2005: Search, Memex and Mirror Worlds [December 27, 2005] TECH TALK: The Best of Tech Talk 2005: Disruptions and Mobiles [December 26, 2005]

There is a sordid fascination for China in the Indian English media. Often, I fail to understand the reasoning behind the same. First the facts. China, despite it's "open markets" remains communist to the core. The regime is dictatorial with the elites ruling largely. With almost nil freedom of expression, there is a huge iron curtain; the news is by and large filtered. Secondly, a resurgent China is a grave threat to India and it's expanding global aspirations. It is no hidden secret that US is molly coddling Indian government to bolster up a counter to China. To keep India in check, we have Pakis to contend with. In any case, it's a huge geopolitical gamble. Given these facts, it's absolutely assinine to imagine the concept of "Chin India". The term, I believe, was first used by out of work Congress politician- who drummed up these fallacies and got a fair amount of press. Beyond that, it's like trying to mate two different species and the end result is going to be a disaster. In any case, there is enough sugar coating in Business Week's article to satisfy the treachorous commies. China seems to have made progress but the regional disparities have grown to an extent which wouldn't sustain the "China Growth". The exact status of their economy is indeed a mystery because the Commies are loath to reveal the extent of the mess in their country. In any interaction with the Chinese, it must be kept in mind that they seem to be suffering from a deep sense of inferiorty complex. Or the construction binge in Shanghai where most of the apartment complexes remain unoccupied. Or massive regional disparities across the country. It's health care infrastructure is even worse than Bihar. As for the basic education sector, I don't have reliable references; suffice to say that it's limited in it's scope. They call China as the "manufacturing engine"- at what cost of margins, worker benefits or even quality? If there are a couple of Special Economic Zones or influx of MNC's in the country, how does that make China better? In the name of "flexible labour laws", job security for most of the Chinese remains a big issue. Why are we fed with the stories of "Chinese success"?It's pouring in millions in infrastrcture; there is evidence of huge amount of wastge of natural resources too. Meaning thereby that it cannot sustain it's growth indefinitely without repurcussions in the near future. "Chin-India" cannot happen; it's even preposterous to raise such an issue. Can you imagine Chin-US or US-Iraq or any other permutations or combinations across the world? It's the issue of national pride and honour. How can you barter it away just like that?

This is just an anti-Nehru political rant. Come'on, you can do better than linking these rants.
Posted by KrishGood post!
Posted by sudhirThere's a lot of dirty-linen washing that needs to be done in India if we're to confront our past mistakes.
Leftism, socialism etc has been a dismal failure and the politicians who brought it upon India should be held to account in our history, not blindly venerated as heroes.
How many of us know for e.g. that the CPM supported china during the '62 India-china war? Why weren't they banned for treason? Have they ever expressed regrets for that action? How can we hide unpleasent things under the carpet and claim to have become improved souls?
I im really worried about the medications of many people use... thats the reason because show that theme to you... The Drugs like the ATIVAN
the most important things about ativan
The Ativan (Lorazepam) is a benzodiazepine with CNS depressant, anxiolytic and sedative properties. Peak serum concentrations of free lorazepam after oral administration are reached in 1 to 6 hours. Peak concentrations are reached in 60 to 90 minutes after i.m. administration and in 60 minutes after sublingual administration. Lorazepam is 85% bound to plasma proteins. Lorazepam is rapidly conjugated to an inactive glucuronide. Very small amounts of other metabolites have also been isolated in man. The serum half-life of lorazepam is approximately 12 to 15 hours while the half-life of the conjugate is 16 to 20 hours. Ninety-five percent of the drug was excreted within 120 hours, 88% in the urine and 6.6% in the stool.
In the same calification we can find drugs like
Vicoprofen, that drug is supplied in a fixed combination tablet form for oral administration. VICOPROFEN combines the opioid analgesic agent, hydrocodone bitartrate, with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) agent, ibuprofen tha means is a semisynthetic and centrally acting opioid analgesic.
you can find more information about these themes and another ones in our website www.crdrx.com
Have a great day
