Oh great,more Asian banana-republics???? <<On the other hand there has been tremendous development in India and I view the possibility of the break up of India as once of the great events of our time.>>> Worswick: between Jimmy Rogers predicting the break-up of Indonesia in 5 years and now your view of a possible break-up of India,I don't know what is going to be next,break-up of China??? I don't know what will happen in the future, but as for India she is sort of used to it in a way,once being an assortment of some 450 odd independent kingdoms and all,as you very well know. I even have some very old silver coins from one of those kingdoms that I found in our attic,when i was a kid. Oh here is an interesting site I found, which you might like as an obvious 'indophile'.Mr.Vajpayee may be next Prime Minister,we will know by middle of March. bjp.org

Is the situation in India really so unpromising? I thought they had good education, good talented people (Hey, one's a great Chess chanpion), certainly a big population, a growing middle class, etc. I thought they were quite on course to becoming a modern industrial state, with wealth trickling down on the social ladder, as well.

I would never imagined that bureaucrasy is really such a drag there. Guess I'll have to go over my books - or this thread mor fully... Thomas
