My comments about the clip

Go India!!!!!

He was 100% right about India emerging as a great country in terms of economy. This is a good sign, and he also did have an interview with an Indian born american and he mentioned that everything starts from the streets "eventhough outside it looks shabby but inside we have a pentium PC". This is very true.

But, let us take a step back and think in the other direction for a moment. Technologically, economically India is doing great, well and good but what about millions of people who are still laid back? what about people who are still behind the line of poverty? According to recent survey, Indian poverty is still over 60% which is a lot for a country like ours. The video was concentrated completely on the outsourcing and how people in India are connected to it.

But my concern here is how can we overcome the big HOLE of poverty in India. As you all know the rich is getting richer and the poor is always poor, as mentioned in the video the journalist asked the women in the slums of Bombay as to how many years she was living there and she mentioned "25", well wait a minute this is something to think about. When India is emerging so good why does a family have to live in the slums with no improvement in their life for 25 years. I feel that instead of us concentrating more and more on how to get connected with the western world, we all should start thinking as to how we can overcome this big HOLE called Poverty HOLE.

Also, I personally feel that India is getting more dependent upon the western countries like US, UK for projects which is a very bad sign. The more dependent we get, the more vulnerable we are to debacle. The reason being now the economy is bad all over the world, but this is not going to be the same all future, this will change and the economy will get better in countries like US, UK etc. When this happens, these countries will mind their own ass and stop outsourcing .... in this case India will be in a deep shit, back to square one as we were in 1990's where in our economy was OK. When India gets more and more dependent on western countries I have a sense of feeling that we are being USED for other countries economic growth which is good as well as bad.

We should start thinking in the direction of being a completely Independent country. The more independent we are the more brighter the future is for us. I know this is a long long long way but feel its completely plausible.

Well I always wanted to share it with my friends, foes, relatives, etc etc ...

Anyways at the end Go India!!!! and Bharath matha ki jai!!!!
