India is a secular country with more problems than any other country.
The so called HINDUS should hug the beggers on the street before they wish to land in moon or be a dancing doll of xyz intellectual ethical corporations.
Ask Tata Birla or Dalmia or Goenga or mittal

They are doing both at the same time. Where have you been? How long did it take Germany and the Us to get to where they after exploiting the resources of the poorer nations.

I am entitled to expose the indian inadequacies.
I am not ashamed to admid that I was born in India nor have any reasons to be proud of my birth place.
In my above response I made a critical observation which i presume is justified..

Sorry If I had hurt your views .

Exactly!!! Indians are doing marvels without exploiting anyone and not harassing or invading anyone. So goes for the chinese.... VIVA the Asians. East side will rule very soon.

Yes, you are entitled to expose the Indian inadequaacies and so do I about your thinking.

When you speak about inadequacies you need to put them in some context of history.

Do you have any idea what it means to be exploited for over a thousand, more like fifteen hundred years, and leave a nation with no universal primary education?

Who was in power when India missed the industrial revolution?

Was it: The sacred cows?

Is this some sort of Indian quiz show where I can win a free DVD by the latest Yoga guru?

Ha, ha. You remind me of some of those Indians who did not help India rebuild itself after independence, and now wondering why after sixty short years of independence India is not like Canada and the USA, never mind fifteen hundred years of merciless foreign exploitation and seeds of discord planted among Indians by the foreign invaders.

One in six (4 out of 24) of the US population live below the US poverty line.

One in four (6 out of 24) of the Indian population live below the Indian poverty line.

Not every Indian may have an appreciation for the the economic growth of their nation in only 60 years. And remember that this progress was made since independence without mandatory universal primary and secondary education.

One need not be an Indian to be a human

Thanks for that link.

When speaking about Indian/Hindu poverty in the context of Christianity as a solution for Hindu poverty, we need to look at some facts in India's struggle to make economic and social progress.

We need to frame the argument further in some kind of comparative socio-economic context for it to make more sense to those who may not know much about India.

It was necessary to develop the following enumerated facts as a point of reference when speaking about the socio economic progress of India.

1)India, where most Hindus live, is a little smaller in size than a third of the size of the United States of America, yet it supports a little more than four times the current US population.

2)Indians, mostly Hindus, recently changed from being the wealthiest to the third wealthiest ethnic minority in the US, after Colombians and Russians.

3)The billion plus strong population of India, mostly Hindus, is almost evenly divided into four social and economic groups, the wealthy, the middle class, the working poor and the underprivileged.

4)Current Hindu social and economic progress was made in about sixty years.

5)The Hindus of India, through their great patience, single-handedly and nonviolently freed themselves from about fifteen hundred years of domination by foreign opportunists who almost drained the life blood of their country and left it severely economically impoverished.

6)Foreign invaders spent almost the entire life span of established Christianity, or about fifteen hundred years, trying to strip the Indian people, mostly Hindus, of their great wealth, religion, heritage, language and esteem.

7)Preserving the territorial integrity of India, as well as managing its population growth with the many complexities of competing interests in culture, language, dialect, politics, etc., often minimize all the economic gains the country makes in almost all areas of continuing development.

8)Hinduism and the Hindu culture are the oldest, continuous and unbroken practices in the world, and no one can even begin to speak of their ages or even origins.

9)The late scientist, Carl Sagan, confirmed that the age of the universe, by Hindu measurements of billions of years, is much closer to the truth than the claim by Christians of a few thousand years starting from the time of Adam and Eve and

10)India's fifty years of love with an inherited socialist government policy has been a major factor in its reluctance to move forward more progressively.

It is a marvel that should not go unnoticed that, in spite of the following, India has been referenced by other nations as an emerging superpower:

a)India lacked universal primary and secondary education for almost sixty years of its independence,

b)India lacks universal secondary education and mandatory primary even today,

c)India has an illiteracy rate of a little less than forty percent,

d)India completely missed the industrial revolution,

e)The road and highway infrastructure of India leaves much to be desired in the context of the efficiency and ease needed for the full distribution of goods and services for a billion plus people and an expanding world economy.

g)Christianity can never be the cure for poverty otherwise in the two thousand plus years since the inception of Christianity all Christian nations would have completely eradicated poverty by now.

h)One quarter of the Indian population now lives below the Indian poverty line compared to one sixth of the US population by US standards

Now i know who am I
