anyone with merit will always succeed in america, there is no need to pull strings, pay a bribe, know a minister or have an uncle in an powerful position.
america is top in education (70% world top universities), business (300 largest corporations), science (270 nobel prizes in science), sports (2400 olympic medals)......because MERIT is given the greatest importance.

Have indians invented any of the modern inventions, the whole world is enjoying? They only know to copy copy and copy, Even the movies songs and ads are copied. They talk bad about US but rush to be educated and settle in US. We are a nation of hypocrites. People like Gandhi were original indians, that is why he had many westerners who admired him.

America also tops in - Government (C.I.A) sponsered World wide terrorism - The highest number of rapes and juvenile crimes - Continued repression of the Black community through the ages. - Ever rising poverty - A 'anyday' fall economy - Theiving its own people to protect the MNCs (Read rich) - Polluting the world with no care about how the earth will survive - And an insult for a democratic representative to head a nation in the form of George W.Bush Jr. You can add end number of things to this list...
The solution once and for all... Following is the first phase, act on it and prepare for the next...

Here I would like to express my views that before thinking about manufacturing we have to think about Infrastructure in our country. I have been there in China and seen how one can ship out the goods in many ways ( Pick up , trucks, containers, air ) to far and that too in very less time. While going around 250 Kms. they are paying around 300 to 500 Indian rupees as toll tax or entering other PROVINCE tax but that they dont mind because they wide, neat and clear highways.
As far as travelling of Individual is concern one can travel by Train,Metro,Taxi,Scooters ( I think by now it has banned in few metros ),Bus,Ferry & Air.
Moreover government of China supporting Chinese Manufacturer by giving Export Refunds. Even though they are selling their products in equal price of manufacturing they will be making 10 to 15% profit. Not to mention the best hospitality you get from Chinese people even though we know it they are money centric.
For each item ( Mobile,Sun Glass )China is making COPY products which is also one of the attraction of foreign buyers.
In place like Dubai ( May be not even one state big of our country ) we can clear one container within one day.
I agree with you Meenakshi Radhakrishnan-Swami that it is high time we must concentrate more in Manufacturing may be small scale with a Brand products.
With a tainted lady, soon becoming the President Of India, the corrupt and rotten government employees and the police force, will be greatly emboldened, to be more corrupt than ever before and entrepreneurs, setting up base in India, will experience difficulties, in getting their projects off the ground, much more difficult.
It is time the citizens of India, shed their timid attitude towards, disgusting conduct of the Politicans, police, the bureacrats and the judiciary ... the confidence being felt within Indians, due to rapid economic progress, should also be felt in other areas... like confidence to usher in change
What we require is a strong peoples movement to take on the arrogant, corrupt Government officials and politicians, Rogues in the Police force and the Judiciary... JOIN IN NOW. CITIZENS POLICING THE CORRUPT AND POLICE IS A MUST TODAY.
