I wonder what is the relation of the title of the article to the content of the article.
The writers have made the title to be very attractive to any natinal with pride. But the content of the article are purely descriptive of the stages of investment and entitites / individual sources of finance.
It has nothing to do with the KBE's as the title says. And no proof either that the world is awakening towards India.Surely this is another one of the hype(s) created in the Indian media about India's fabulous growth.
But none of the persons concerned ie the journalists, the media, the politicians and the people are willing to stand up and pose questions.
Although India has started to be one of the foremost countries that western nations are looking towards, they are still very hesitant.
The main reasons are well known - lack of infrastructure and refors by the Govt. (Congress, to name the Govt)
The PM - FM duo may be highly qualified and great economists / finance wizzards, but they are not the individuals who can lead their misbehaving ministers into reforms.
And now India's chances of out-running China are pretty grim although our economy is being driven by demand led growth and China's economy is being supply driven (and comparisons are difficult and many a times unnecessary).
That is because China has highest amount of reserves with which it can bully the bully (USA). Moreover its leaders have been strong against international pressures and recently even gained kudos for their successful efforts to bring N Korea back to the table.
This is when India is still grappling to battle inflation, or feed millions of its poor, or educate its children, while migrants keep moving out to nations with better exchange rates (UK, USA etc)
Now China may also be facing with some of the same problems of poverty and education and the likes - but it has enough resources to satiate its needs and still invest elsewhere - while India is mostly dependent on outside funds.
So I would suggest the writers and the readers and the great people of India to please break the jinx of being intoxicated by such hyped news and open up and even set their eyes to emulate the westerners' achievements.
And one more suggestion - start reading FT and Economist and other international magazines rather than our Aajtak and NDTV and other rubbish. The media has long lost its way of leading the people towards eagerly awaited revolutions.
