good post. china does far better in african commonwealth countries than india does despite commonwealth. no idi amin ever kicke out the chinese. commonwealth could offer no help against idi amin. it took a lot persuading of britain for it to eventually accept the hindu refugees from uganda into britain after considerable opposition from within britain. there is only one way to gain economic benefit (and self respect): by being competetive. i hope this man kamlesh sharma resigns after realizing the utter uselessness and utter boredom of his job duties if not due to self respect.
