Sankar you're truly appalling grasp of information and history is laughable and dangerous.
"The reason for why India has remained poor is mainly because of the standard Indian psyche of austerity and contentment with whatever they have. The western standard of per-capita income to measure prosperity is perhaps meaningless."
I am sure that the hundreds of millions of people in India, who live and die because they're content to be poor,and who will finally close their eyes and not suffer anymore because you care so much.
If there are thousands like you and hundreds of thousands in India then I'd say the world that we know, a world where cooperative spirit is important, is in deep, deep trouble.
The irony here is we educated you. You went to Harvard.
You write, "Actually, USA and other Western powers taught jingoism to the rest of the world. After having acquired the nuclear power and wealth (mostly through occupation of foreign lands), these powers want the rest of world to kow tow them and remain perpetually emaciated and dependent on them."
Basically, I think you have a very dark heart Sankar.
I am reminded in your post of the fate of the great Central Asian city of Balkh. Balkh opposed the armies of the Central Asian nomad Ghinghiz Khan and when Ghenghiz Khan conqueored Balkh he slaughtered the population of Balkh - every man, woman and child. The great Khan built hetacombs of skulls twenty and forty feet high and Balkh has never recovered. Today only the wind inhabits Balkh.
I quote you, "Actually, USA and other Western powers taught jingoism to the rest of the world. After having acquired the nuclear power and wealth (mostly through occupation of foreign lands), these powers want the rest of world to kow tow them and remain perpetually emaciated and dependent on them."
You are the new barbarian Sankar with his calculator and his jet plane tickets.
