Mits in the India China war of 1962. The Indian Army got beat so bad by the Chinese PLA forces that the Indian military started using the Assam rifles as a hit and run force to slow the Chinese PLA forces down so that the Indian Army can regroup and reestablish their defenses.

There was another Tata before him, he built the company and handed it over to him. That fella was half French and half Indian.

Forbes brought Tata buses to Guyana in the 70's. All the Indians started screaming "ow gad, he gon kill we. Dis man brukkin' up dis country, look at dese kanta bus". Until they found out Tata was from India. lol

@seignet Look at this nasty old whore Velutha Kuttapen (his backdam id). Dude, you post there. You are known there as a land teef. I never and will never post there.

Anyone that does, especially those with a non PPP position run the risk of the lowlife admins changing your posts. For example - they can alter your post to insert content threatening Ratman on the forum and it is there in black and white. You have no recourse.

These people are devious and nasty. Guana man not stupid.

Cuba is a happy country. Most people show up for work late and the country poor like hell

Was there with Obama. The place is not free. The government has to find you a job if you get fired

Cuba to cut one million public sector jobs

14 September 2010, Source - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-11291267

Cuba has announced radical plans to lay off huge numbers of state employees, to help revive the communist country's struggling economy.

The Cuban labour federation said more than a million workers would lose their jobs - half of them by March next year.

Those laid off will be encouraged to become self-employed or join new private enterprises, on which some of the current restrictions will be eased.

Analysts say it is the biggest private sector shift since the 1959 revolution.

Cuba's communist government currently controls almost all aspects of the country's economy and employs about 85% of the official workforce, which is put at 5.1 million people.

As many as one-in-five of all workers could lose their jobs.

"Our state cannot and should not continue maintaining companies, productive entities, services and budgeted sectors with bloated payrolls and losses that hurt the economy," the labour federation said in a statement.

"Job options will be increased and broadened with new forms of non-state employment, among them leasing land, co-operatives, and self-employment, absorbing hundreds of thousands of workers in the coming years," the statement added.

Free enterprise?

To create jobs for the redundant workers, strict rules limiting private enterprise will be relaxed and many more licenses will be issued for people to become self-employed.

Private businesses will be allowed to employ staff for the first time.

The self-employed will have access to social security and will be able to open bank accounts and even borrow money to expand their businesses.

They will also have to pay tax on their profits and for each person they employ, something which could dramatically boost the government's income.

And they will be able to negotiate contracts to provide services to government departments.

A minority of Cuban workers already work for themselves, for example as hairdressers and taxi-drivers, or running small family restaurants.

There is also a thriving black economy, with many people working independently without proper permission from the state.

The BBC's Fernando Ravsberg in Havana says salaries in Cuba's state sector are so low that many employees could be better off working for themselves.

But he says not everyone has the skills and initiative necessary to be self-employed.

He adds that the government plan does not foresee any kind of advice being offered to people seeking to set up their own businesses.

Economic crisis

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/mcs/media/images/48567000/jpg/_48567987_009907736-1.jpgPresident Raul Castro has said the state's role in the economy must shrink

President Raul Castro outlined some of the changes in a speech in August, saying the state's role in the economy had to be reduced.

"We have to end forever the notion that Cuba is the only country in the world where you can live without working," he said.

Cuba's state-run economy has been gripped by a severe crisis in the past two years that has forced it to cut imports.

It has suffered from a fall in the price for its main export, nickel, as well as a decline in tourism.

Growth has also been hampered by the 48-year US trade embargo.

Mr Castro became Cuba's leader when his brother, Fidel Castro, stepped aside because of ill-health in 2006.

Each job in Cuba is regulated by a state permit. It is not like in Guyana where you can just put two things together and go sell it on the streets. In Cuba it is a central planned economy even the man on the streets selling nuts and cheese has to have a state permit to do so. So the state permits how many people on a particular type of job.

In Guyana one needs a license to sell.

Also, everyone in the US_of_A, Canada, United Kingdom plus other countries needs a license/permit to sell.
