Their economy is through the roof, posting double digit gains. Their tech and bioengineering sectors are growing in the triple digits, and there are more jobs than qualified people. Their cities are brimful of new infrastructure, buildings and malls.

Bangalore is apparently the #1 place to grow your startup, their venture capital market is going nuts. If you have an idea, you will get venture capital funding.

Reminds me of the 90s in the US.
 
From what I have heard recently; all the economic gains are not trickling down to the general population.

given the power blackouts of the past year; growth does not equal investment in the infrastructure which will limit the growth itself.

When the Viceroy Governor General of Indian Affairs was notified of the power blackouts he got very worried. He has setup a special panel of experts to deal with the blackouts.

Yep, trolling.

Next you'll be extolling the virtues of the bus system . . . .

Why does India still have a Viceroy Governor General? Are they still a colony?
 
The British in India will be slaughtered. Then they will overrun the Moslems and force their "Allah" to bow to Kali. And then the Hebrew God will fall and finally the Christian God will be cast down and forgotten.

Soon they will have all the five Sankara Stones, and the Thuggees will be all-powerful.

India has a lot of motorcycles and filtering (lane-splitting) is allowed. All the people on motorcycles don't see a problem with that. For many (most?) the problem *IS* "fixed."
 
If you get a chance, watch the "30 days" series on Netflix... created by the same guy that ate McD's for 30 days straight. There's an episode in season 2 about outsourcing to India - an American who lost his IT job to outsourcing goes over there to see what it's like and there's a huge disparity between the haves and have-nots. Call centers are huge business and being employed by them is seen as a great position - exact opposite of what it's like here being help desk. The less fortunate at one point start a small riot against these "booming businesses" too. Interesting to see their point of view on the whole outsourcing thing. In the end the guy even feels saddened to have to leave them.

Overall good series with great reviews.
