RE:India vs. Bharat
by Kris on Aug 04, 2008 09:43 PM

Are you as stupid as you sound?

Germany and Japan both had massive industrial base even before 2nd world war and did not require anyone's help to where they are today. Keep believing in oft-repeated misinformation. There is not even an iota of evidence that these countries were helped with US technology, if at all most of the technology was stolen from Germany. It is however, true that US carried out humanitarian missions in Germany after the second world war.

But that is not the issue here. The issue is government role in a society. Both Germany and Japan provide health care, education through government sponsored programmes. Government has an important constructive role to play in India. What you see in India today has been built on socilalist economy. Yes, it is true that India was on the other extreme and has to come to the center which it has done. There is no reason to move towards capitalism then we already have at this stage. Let the gains be consolidated, let people become more educated and self sufficient then we can move to next stage. India is not ready for that as yet.
