Here is a picture from your beautiful capital DEHLI taken in 2004. The human pulled Rickshaw must be height of civilization.

#64,

I really feel sorry for you that you think that photo is beautiful. My dear sir, that is called a slum.

God knows what knows what kind of lives you lead in Pakistan that you think that slum is beautiful.

I think the time to civilize Pakistan is near. No more dilly dallying. Bring some sunshine into the pathetic lives of our neighbors in our west.

Check this description of pak roads..................

Driving in Pakistan: If you can - dont drive
Written NukeDoc on September 24, 2004.

by NukeDocAlthough there are some good roads in Pakistan (The motorway between Islamabad and Lahore, the road to Murree), most of the roads in Pakistan are more like a dirt bike track than anything asphalt. Extremely hazardous road constructions, no lines markings, no direction signs, big potholes, and on top of that absolutely reckless drivers. Roads are officially declared war zones and even if you are very careful someone else driving a 10 ton truck would maul you over.

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

#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.

#62 Posted by haideri on May 12, 2005 11:32:43 am

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.

#50 Jang,

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

#59 Posted by MaheshG2 on May 12, 2005 10:03:02 am

#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!
