Poverty creation - Maharashtra ishtyle

HP ,

You are a fool to let your hatred for India blind you to the present realities. I know you are an old man...in your youth , I am sure India was a very poor country , and Pakistan was far better off relatively. So its understandable that you find it difficult to reconcile yourself to the new realities.

No amount of posting pictures of 1970s era autorickshaws or bulluck carts will take away the fact that automobiles worth $5billion were sold in India last year. Dozens of companies , both Indian and non-India compete for this fast expanding and highly evolved market. Over 2-3 dozen brand new models of various cars of several companies are available today.

Indian companies like Mahindra and Tata Motors export cars and SUVs to Europe and South America.Cars like these >>

Indigo Marina (Tata)


Indigo


Tata Indica V2


Tata Safari (SUV)


You posted a picture of a Mahindra Autorickshaw of the 1970s vintage ..(days of your youth)....Now see for yourself how far the company has come...from making autorickshaws to manufacturing Sport Utility Vehicles (suv) that are exported to Europe...

Mahindra Scorpio

You are both blind and dumb. I hope this picture will help you embrace the reality. These guys are washing in the crap water. This picture is from your beautiful BOMBAY.

#62,

It does not seem civilized to me but it obviously does to you. Ask HP. He will tell you that the picture is of a couple of automobiles.

That`s why I say we Indians should take the lead in bringing civilization to the cave dwellers in our west.

Here is a picture from the world`s forth richest country. Does this seem civilized to you MaheshG2 ? Na, it must be an ISI conspiracy.

HP has carried this too far!!.I need to now how to post pics in these boxes,i am computer illiterate.The schmo has posted pics of villagers in Rajasthan , i guess, `cause of the camel.I got pics of interesting contraptions that roam the metros of pak-i-stan.Help!!.To arms my brothers!!.Maharastra`s got power from Delhi, so this essay`s moot anyways.

#50 Jang,

we will outsource to south korea and Daewoo. What do you think?

#57,

It might be an automobile to you cave dwellers but to us it is simply a bullock cart :)

Pakistanis must be in awe of choolhas too thinking they are microwaves.

Indians should take the lead in bringing civilization to our primitive neighbors in the west.

The nuances in the populist rhetoric about Maharashtra`s roadmap towards progress tell us a lot about where the State is going....Ponder over this:

Long time ago the dream was to convert Konkan into California. It was soon realized that that was too far to go. Maharashtra politicians started talking about converting Girangaon (Girgaum or Mumbai) into Singapore. That also now looks too distant and at this moment we are chasing Shanghai!

It saddens one to realize that Shanghai and Mumbai were almost on par in the early 1950. Perhaps, Mumbai was a little ahead of Shanghai. The distance between the two of them has widened so much by now that Shanghai is held forth as a desirable goal for Mumbai to catch up with!

One more automobile in India! But where is the auto? It is in Korea....Marchi pulling it for the time being...

Why worry?.This is the reason we have a central govt..All reactionaries and misplaced do-goodniks may move to BANGLADESH.Please.Thank you.

Thursday, May 12, 2005 (New Delhi):


The Centre today assured Maharashtra that it would provide as much as 1,210 MW of electricity, including 610 MW at normal rates to the state to tide over the situation.

The state has been reeling under an acute power crisis.

An assurance to this effect was given by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh after a 40-minute meeting which deliberated on short-term measures to address the problem.

Deshmukh told reporters that out of the 610 MW, 300 MW would come from Kawas project in Gujarat and 250 MW from Tarapur nuclear power plant. (PTI)

[They call this an automobile in India!]

Nope, it is called an auto for an autorickshaw, not an automobile. Nice try but no dice!

A minor correction to set the mirchi on fire permanently!

Mirchi KO mirchi laggi!

Mirchi to mirchi laggi!

They call this an automobile in India!

cayenne, but the paki expressway is still much longer, older and better than the bombay-poona (or is it panvel-shivaji nagar). so time to outsource..pronto.
