I totally agree with ryan that Mr. Francois Gautier understands India FAR BETTER than most of the Indians. The majority of Indians are still ignorant and from the lower strata of society and are gullible. They are the ones who are fooled by most political parties. And, a majority of media are sycophantic, especially to parties which expect sycophancy like Congress. Almost the rest of the media is manned by people educated under western principles, and hence they have lost their balance. Mr. Francois Gautier is an extraordinary journalist, who seems to have understood excellently well, in spite of his upbringing in a western country. He is extremely analytical, totally unbiased, does not bother to be "politically correct" when talking truth, and even his own personal beliefs do not come in the way of his professional writings..
