>Cutting and running and leaving the locals to it is a good idea when there aren't alternatives. If famines and Mugabe's maelstrom results, then that's just how it is.> Very similar to the Enron top management. As long as the going was good, make the big money. And then dump the stakeholders and run. >And he thinks Britain today should give money to people in Bengal. What a joke. That's like Negroes in the USA wanting money from the government because some of their ancestors were slaves 200 years ago.> Both of these cases are justifiable in the ethical sense. But difficult to carry out practically. >It is nearly a lifetime since India took over running their place by themselves.> Yes. It can take a long time, more than a lifetime, to bring hundreds of millions forward. > Look what Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea and now China have achieved in the same length of time. Not to mention Germany which was well-wrecked by 1945. It's time for India to stop making excuses.> No comparison. Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, and Germany are all beneficiaries of US Marshall plan or similar policies. China had it its revolution in 1910s. It struggled for 60-70 years. And again it has developed fast partly due to deliberate US trade polices. Arun
