Kaal, I wanted to be on that board but I saw anull here posting inanities and decided to take a look. Any way, I have a great post coming on that board. Just pray that I am not too much intoxicated before I finish it.

dawa-i-dimag: you're a troll, and not a very amusing one at that...I wouldn't be surprised if you're the same as laddu and ahmedmadani(and possibly borivili express)

so explain to me how all this has become possible without normalizing relations with the land of the pure(i.e. giving up kashmir to the land of the pure)

From TOI/Forbes...

'India top spot for riches in Asia'

WASHINGTON: From being one of the poorest economies six decades ago to becoming a "top spot" today, India has come a long way, Forbes says in a special report even as it lists more billionaires in India worth $191 billion than in any other Asian nation. "India's top 10, worth $112 billion, account for two-thirds of that wealth," it says in the report ‘India at 60'.

"India's rising fortunes are underscored by the increasing prosperity of its wealthiest citizens," it adds, as it lists 36 billionaires in the country. "India was one of the world's poorest economies when it won its independence from Britain in 1947. Incredibly, 60 years later, the country's emerging economic clout has made it Asia's top spot for billionaires."

This year, for the first time in two decades of tracking, Forbes counted more Indians than Japanese billionaires. Three Indians made it to the list of top 20 of the world's richest and only the US had more billionaires than India.
"We have made decent progress in several areas during the last 60 years. We have produced world-class scientists, engineers, journalists, soldiers, bureaucrats, politicians and doctors," says NR Narayana Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys and among those in the rich list.

Nimesh Kampani, chairperson of the JM Financial Group, predicts 100 billionaires by 2009 representing diverse fields. "There's lots more that lies beneath."

LN Mittal is the richest Indian worth $25 billion, followed by Mukesh and Anil, who unseated Wipro group's chairman Azim Premji, who had been India's richest resident for several years. "India was a relatively sleepy place for the world's wealthiest until three years ago. With just nine billionaires in 2004, none ranked higher than 58," says Forbes.

Forbes says many tycoons have been in the news for negotiating big deals. Venugopal Dhoot is set to acquire Daewoo Electronics for $700 million. KM Birla paid $1 billion to buy the Tata Group's stake in their telecom joint venture Idea.

O slaves and 3rd class muslims of india...wake up..revolt aginst the indin government and demand a seperate land near Hyderabad Aurang abad..etc

HP, quit wasting time with us Indians here, boss :)

Really, somehow, I kept feeling that your presence was required on that Jinnah/Hoodbhoy board...that you may be one person who might have a different take on emerging consensus...Your political savy is needed there...

[That would also leave cliftonbridge alone to us :)]

Why would India come to depend on any mechanism for which it can be held at ransom by Pakistan and/or Bangladesh? Oil is coming even now, it will continue to come the way it is now. Economic forces will prevail and oil will continue to be sold to India the way it is now. Pipeline which is not guaranteed to continue functioning, which is always in danger of becoming bargaining chip cancels all benefits India gets from it. India's economic juggernaut is unstoppable. With petroleum coming by pipe or ships. Once oil wells become uneconomical because of world learning to grow efficiently bio-diesel plants Arabia will go back to its Bedouin past. With them will go Pakistan. If Pakistan cannot guarantee to USA security why any country let alone India should trust Pakistan. Pakistan is big loser because of 9/11 and ownership of nukes which are seen by west in perennial danger of falling in "wrong" hands. It is just a matter of time before western intelligence manages to get information or disinformation on jihadic elements in Pakistan wanting to use nukes before Pakistan is made to go the Iraq way. So hallucinate by all means about ever India handing over Kashmir to Pakistan, like your prophet did about direct line with God. Let me write my punchline: Pakistan Ka Matlab Kya Hai? Pakistan Ka Matlab Hai: Lailaj.

Forbes coverage of India at 60.

Interestingly, Asiatimes is one of the fav tabs on Firefox. Which means I get to see that site every evening.I may not read it every night as I guess it updates once or twice a week.

HP squash is a game with rules !!!

The US govt modifies the NIE report to put pressure on pakiland..

Dubya says heel

Mushy complies and unleashes artillery and helicopter gunships on the tribals

and some people still harbor delusions on pakiland's options..especially in light of the fact that rice's call kept mushy from declaring an emergency...

hey HP ! maybe laddu can change, maybe he cant. Maybe someone else can see the self evident truth addressed to him , for others ...there is always UP :)

Aren't you paying a little too much attention to that spammer? Nayone whio calls himself laddu is a laddu!

You think he will listen to you. Use better judgment sometime and use your very well thought out arguments and debating skills with someone who actually understand what you are talking about....

For instance...hehehehe...

For the other Laddu ch#1, CIA is close to my heart always!
