Again, the British. In its former colonies the British gave power to the more pliable. Used the to rule the colonies. Like the northern Hausa Moslems in Nigeira. In politics and sociology, divide and rule (or divide and conquer) is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. The concept refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures and prevents smaller power groups from linking up. en.wikipedia.org When about to leave they drew maps putting together disparate tribes knowing that lot would not succeed. The locals that gained power, were the pliable ones used to help the British run the colonies and were the ones who took control. Why there weren't roads or telecommunications system in post-independence Africa? Because the locals who took power did not want the people to link up. Today there is wireless and Internet and locals need roads to make economic progress since the cost of food is increasing and the populaces are getting hungrier and restless. I don't know India but it cam be similar thing happening there.

The famine that had hit China regularly in the past is moving out of China. China now has money to pay for imported food. As they enter the market they bid up food prices. No famine there anymore. To where the famine will move? To Africa. Have you noticed those Arab Spring revolutions? Do you think they want democracy? No amigo. This is about food prices. And you know those Moslems they reproduce a lot! They have now pay higher food prices because the Asians are scooping all the food stocks available. That what started in the Maghreb will move to Sub Sahelian Africa. African government are now scrambling for increase food production. As you know they kick the oybos (whites) out, food production went down, and they relied on imported food. Until the Asians came to the market…

Developing world are taking a page of Lula's book. Screw the middle class! Ally with the poor castes. You should read Klaser's posting on that governing elites' coups. What the poor castes need? Food and cheaper housing. The middle classes need universities (to supply cheap graduates to English speaking countries). Security, airports that sort of services. For the governing elites, to ally with lower castes is easier, you buy their votes much cheaper.
