Ron.

""the point I was trying to make was that India possessed such an unstable economy and such apparent corruption that most people feel that gold is their only true storehouse of value.""

That I agree with.

""One final point... India has had every opportunity that Korea and Japan possessed for it to develop the necessary financial stability and incentives that would make them an economic powerhouse. ""

The difference is that Japan, S.Korea, and other such fast developing/developed Asian countries are truly ONE SINGLE NATIONS with people in unity...... INDIA is a Sub-Continent with far too many internal differences and divided people, not a recipe for success. Though it is still an amazing achievement that such an encumbered and populous nation as India is as 'advanced' as it is today.

Re: caste system - It was the ancient idea (and very practical for its time) of "division of labour" to run an efficient and propserous society.

Let's stop talking about India and now get back to GOLD.

Thanks + regards,

RAJA
