RE:Showing a very rosy picture

A 2007 report by the state-run National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) found that 77% of Indians, or 836 million people, lived on less than 20 rupees per day (USD 0.50 nominal, USD 2.0 in PPP), with most working in "informal labour sector with no job or social security, living in abject poverty."

If you think that these people will use couriers then your world is different from mine. In fact very few people in the developed countries such as France, Germany use couriers. All letters that I receive from universities in these countries all come through their national postal services.

The rich in India wants to build a cocoon inside which they want to have their own country and rules. Thankfully (for the rich as well as the poor) we are a democracy and the poor will have their say in nine-month.
