Behta, What do you think about these stats:

-38% of Indian doctors in the US,

-36% of Indian scientists at NASA,

-28% of Indian employees at IBM,

-27% of Indian employees at INTEL,

-34% of Microsoft employees are Indians.

Mits ,here is stats on physicians in the US.

Thanks.

Someone said the best place to have a heart attack here, is in a taxi. Most likely the driver is a Doctor from Pakistan or India.

Maybe we should face reality and not be too proud about Indian accomplishments.  India itself is still one of the poorest countries in the world.  I believe it has the most people categorized as desperately poor.  Almost 25% of Indians are illiterate.  That means that more than 300million Indians cannot read and write.  That likely means that India has the most illiterate people in the world.  Canada , the US, Britain have attracted some of the most educated Indians and they are not representative of the Indian population.  Moreover, the stats cited by Indians about the success of Indians in the West are usually exaggerated, e.g., those cited by Mitwah in this thread.   So, to be realistic, India has a long, long way to go before it could boast about its accomplishments. The recent success of the Indian cricket team in Australia provides a context to assess India's standing in the world.  In  the final match at the Gabba in scenes reminiscent of Lagaan the Indian team beat Australia.  There were wild celebrations but the reality is that with a population 50 times bigger than Australia's and presumably with  talent pools similarly proportioned no one should be surprised if India's fifth eleven beats Australia. 

KN published the letter with the correct word in 4th paragraph, 2nd sentence: empathise instead of emphasize, and they put it in the title too.

I do not know what the PNC said to Nadir, did not care what they said to him, Nadir has a past, he was once Minister of Trade, Industry and Commerce. He is a PPP god in the clouds. I am not surprised he was made Speaker of the House,members of the same klan. The past is rewarded in all sort of ways, for good there is good for terrible things, who knows.

This is  Black history month, why glorify  Indos.  Post some Black achievements.

The past is the past but you don't attack a man and his health. There has to be a line somewhere.

Some people are just vindictive,  no class.

Literacy is not the sole requirement for success! Joe Stalin decimated the ranks of the intelligentsia and he was formerly a bank.robber! My father could neither read nor write English, yet he became one of the wealthiest men in Guyana!

Those are the exceptions, not the rule.  I'm sure your father read and wrote money (in another language). Stalin wasn't illiterate. 

Well, Tota, a high percentage of people in India are more worried about the next meal rather than the next text book! Forced contraception didn't seem to help much!

Dem mek gud furtilzer tho!

Mebbe so, but he sure didn't think much about those who were! As for my father, he was good at calculations! Like, is your collateral better than your common.sense?

And I should have said, he could neither read nor write!

This is all probably true but worrying about the next meal is not an accomplishment.   They do make good fertilizer because open defecation is practiced by a significant percentage of the population.  Don't get me wrong--Indians have contributed to humanity in many ways but those accomplishments must not be exaggerated.  And, currently the country faces huge problems but it is making progress.  You could help by donating to  Swachh Bharat.  I contributed to the fund because it is a tax on Indian airline tickets. 

I meant good fertilizer, dead! Having had nothing while alive!

Successive Indian governments have done the right thing, concentrate on building for the future instead of worrying too much about the poor! Even Jesus said, the poor are aways with us!

What can you accomplish when you are half starved and worrying about your next meal and that of your family's? Your belly is full, huh?

At present, I worry about Modi and his wanting a Hindustan, but India can become the most powerful nation on earth in time! They have brilliant people and I'm not praising India because of my paternal heritage, a bunch of war lovers! I'm thinking, rather, of those of Dravidian descent!

Nadir holds a key position in  the democratic practices of Guyana, he be cursed which ever way if he uses his office to thwart the rights of Black people. Doing that is a curse unto him.

If that ****er signed his name and do you out of a few hundred thousand us dollars, perhaps you will pat him on the back and say well done. Something like that happens in Guyana, there is no recourse, these are gods we dealing with.
