None of the 10 points mentioned by Claude Arpi makes any sense. Before drawing conclusions we got to make sure we are comparing apples to apples. India and US are on a totally different platform. Its just going to be 60 years since India got independence and look at the development that has happened in the last 60 years. For ex-
The railway system is among the best in the world even after handling the volume of passenger traffic and is used as an ex from european countries.
Nothing stopped Bombay from functioinig even after the floods of July 2005. Whole of South Eastern US was panick struck and the so called most developed country was cluless to tackle the situation.
Even after the bomb blasts of 1992 near BSE the very next day the sensex was up a couple of points unlike the US where people pressed the panic button & stopped flying.
I bet when Claude goes around taking his dog around in France he carries a potty bag to clean up the mess his dog does, but in India he would not even think of doing it.
The question is what is it Claude doing to improve the Indian image. To crtize is a no brainer it takes a true leader to fix things, which Claude for sure is not.
