India Rocks! 1. NEW DELHI--India, which added 8.53 million new mobile users in February, is set to become the second-largest wireless market in the world after China by April 2008. India had 251 million wireless users by the end of February, compared with 256 million in the U.S. and 540.5 million in China. By April, India will pass the U.S. 2. Globe Overturned: India Owns Jaguar, Land Rover: The British empire was turned on its head today: With Ford Motor Co.'s announced sale of Jaguar and Land Rover to India's Tata Motors, the ownership of two of Great Britain's legendary motor marques will pass this year from one former British colony to another. This isn't so much a story of globalization as it is a tale of the globe turned on its axis. 3. Forbes 2008 Billionaires: India now has 4 of the world's richest 8 billionaires, more than the U.S. (only 2 in the top 8). Consider that in 1997 India had no billionaires in the top 100, and in 1998 India had only one billionaire in the top 100, and just barely - Lakshmi Mittal ranked #100. mjperry.blogspot.com At 8:24 PM, Blogger Mark J. Perry said... Masked Millionaire: The top ten billionaires in India run companies that employ almost one million people, mostly in India. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting richer. At 10:39 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said... As Milton Friedman once said "The lesson of history is crystal clear. Capitalism is the only system so far invented by man for raising people out of poverty". For decades, Indians have lived in abject poverty the legacy of fabian socialism. Now, for the first time since independence, Indians have economic opportunity. At least, be honest enough to admit that socialism has been a disaster in India.

Nazmeen (11) set on fire for wearing lipstick Submitted by Tarique on Tue, 10/21/2008 - 17:36. Indian Muslim By TwoCircles.net staff reporter, New Delhi: Her sin was that she wore lipstick and again wore ignoring the ‘prohibitory order’ of her neighbor Saleem (55) whom she called nana. The man set her on fire. She suffered 99% injuries and now recovering in a hospital in Jaipur. While Muslims across the country are not willing to admit existence of terrorists among them as hardly one of them has till now been convicted of terror charges, what happened in Rajasthan on October 17 is not less than an act of terror. According to CNN-IBN, eleven-year-old Nazmeen was attacked by Saleem who had told the girl not to wear lipstick. When she defied him, in a fit of rage he allegedly molested her and then poured kerosene on her and set her on fire. The police have arrested Saleem. He has been charged under section 307 (attempt to murder) and section 354 (molestation). The police are also looking into the molestation charges as well. Nazmeen is now admitted in a hospital, but doctors say her condition continues to be critical. Though it is not clear that religion was there in his mind when he objected the girl wearing lipstick, what he did can be easily termed anti-Islam. indianmuslims.info
