I am quoting human poverty indicators that describe tens of millions in India, over 86% live below $2 a day, many to most of them below $1 a day
The fact that millions of people have outsourcing related jobs has exactly what to do with the people living in poverty? Did anyone claim that outsourcing had totally wiped out poverty...
Is it your contention that because there are people living on less than 2$/day, India should completely give up it`s outsourcing industry? How does that help the people living on less than 1$/day? Isn`t that actually backwards....I know you`re a commie islamist and don`t believe in trickle down, but the people working in IT create a demand for construction that help people at the lowest levels...

masadi,
you are a pathetic delusional fool !........... the fact of the matter is that india`s exports to the us grew from 13B in 2003 to over $24B in 2006 including over 3B in engineered products like automotive parts (and that does not include services like engineering, r&d and back office)......... the us trade deficit with india was over $10B ............. on top of that us companies like ibm, hp, gm and ge have hired tens of thousands of indian professionals at high salaries that continue to grow at an alarming rate (alarming for employers and customers) ........... the indian middle class continues to grow and soon there will be a starbucks on every corner in bangalore - remember, starbucks is the gold standard of prosperity and civilization ..........
......... and all this while you are still struggling with manufacturing suicide belts that work .......... i know that you are bitter that you can`t get a real job, but you should have gone to a better school and worked harder instead of feeling sorry for yourself ............... you can do it even now - send for a mail order phd from pacific coastal and i am sure dr ata will give you a job ......... but for god`s sake, stop whining

Inspite of the vile sh** coming from your pervertedly sick mind time and again, I feel there might be some atom of decency and conscience based on justice and truth in that dung infested mind of yours that is why I spend time answering your ignorant posts, but I think I might have overestimated the ``good`` in you.

I see you are boasting about your unnamed institution but unfortunately they didn`t instruct you on the correct spelling of correlation. There is indeed correlation between the position of a country in the global division of labor and its economic, political, and military relationship with the developed world and their level of development. Your unnamed instituion didn`t teach you that as well. Give me ONE example of a country that maintained the same old institutional structure dominated by the US elite, doing its deeds while ignoring its own masses and then developing consistently as a result. There is not a single example. There are examples to the contrary and we have the long history of colonization and now neo-colonization that works through such institutions to keep a country underdeveloped, mass robbery wouldn`t be possible otherwise. We have not only implicit evidence but explicit evidence of leaked plans like Project Camelot, and recently the US barbaric invasion of Iraq using all BS excuses in the book that provide ample evidence on what these higher terrorists plan and want.
Then this idiot writes:
<<< what happened when china and INdia had ``unaligned themselves`` from the ``US dominated economic system``...their citizens hurt the most >>>
There is zero proof that poverty in these regions was worse when they were unaligned, and there is ample evidence that their unalignment saved them during the lost decades of the third world and even more evidence that the ``West`` has become interested in them because they achieved more development in human and industrial terms that makes them more valuable today to those that would rob them. Get your facts straight, illiterate fool rather than teach me or tell me to see HDI indicators or threaten me with ``examples`` which are ``missing``, HDI does not measure or compare poverty among nations, find out what it is composed of before trying to tell me look at it, you have no clue, I know
The percent of the population living below the poverty level is much worse in India than in Pakistan given World Bank data, and given the data COMPOSING the human poverty Index of the UN, except for illiteracy numbers, India is worse off in all other indicators than Pakistan, worse in percent that wont survive till 40, worse in people having no access to clean water, Worse in underweight children. What indicators do you want to show me fool?
You fools, that tout the IT miracle are a disgrace regardless of the institution you attended, in fact your poverty situation is much worse than it was in the unaligned times, you all invent tricks to fool the people regarding nonsense poverty measures but you dont fool me and you dont fool international organizations like the UN.
When a country`s institutions, historically designed by the colonials and maintained in the same fashion by later relations with the neo colonials ensure that the vast majority of the people will live dependent lives in poverty regardless of cell phone showmanship and ring tones and what not, then those poor cannot be blamed for not having enough education to compete with those that are born in privilage, they cannot be expected to have the same psychological outlook towards life that brings objective opportunities, they cannot be blamed because they are victims. And FOOLS like you, who talk big about their educational institutions, and I have beaten in grade point average all of you ``techie types`` during my educational career in the US, all of you, from India, Pakistan, China or whereever, even though I was putting in 60 hour work weeks while going to school full time, then have the audacity to teach me stuff, they don`t themselves know.

Girls gone wild (GGW) in Pakistan, Mashallah. Did u notice the girl smooching adjusting her dupatta to protect her modesty. Goes to show cultural values are subject to conditoning and social pressures whereas human basic instincts are universal.

I was too quick to criticize. Upon further reflection, thanks to the fondness of Paki Punju men for the frontier culture as in PPI (Punjab/Pakhtoon Inc), is it any wonder that young Punju girls have to pleasure themselves? :)

There is no co-relation between US being tied to the ruling insitution or not tied to the ruling institution for a country to fail. How many examples would you like? The fault lies with Pakistanis and pakistanis alone..because they did build any other institutions for a country`s development outside the military. And as far my literacy goes, let me put it to you this way, you wouldn`t even be allowed to mop the floors of the insitutions where I studied. Middling GIT!
``There is a lot of criticism of the US policies coming out of both countries, just because you are naively unaware of it does not mean it doesn`t exist.

ANd what happened when china and INdia had ``unaligned themselves`` from the ``US dominated economic system``...their citizens hurt the most. Yet since 1978 and 1991, China and INdia respectively have been improving the lot of their citizens by integrating into the very ``US dominated economic system`` you lament. Go across HDI indicators, Financial indicators, Economic indicators..the number simply don`t support your assertion. And just becasue a few retarted khilafaites and latterday Engles think that their alternatives are better, it doesn`t mean that it is so.
``Regarding the world ``chugging along``, which world are you talking about, India? where more people per 100 live below the poverty rate than Pakistan? What kind of development is that? The world is going from bad to worse, the winners are just the select few handpicked Caucasian countries or a couple other US restructured and occupied countries, the rest of the world is in the gutter, some more than others. ``
Yes chugging along, from 1991 on out, India has been making important strides in improving the lot of it`s citizenry. Go check any indicator mentioned above. AS far as comparison to Pakistan..there is no comparison. the rate of growth and improvement in the lives of Indians is happening at a much more rapid pace than in Pakistan.
ANd before you come back with some stupid argument about income distribution and like..go read Jagdish Bhagwati (Kaleidoscope of Growth), the man will win a Nobel in Economics in the next 2 years. WHile you would be dancing about with glee at the thought of your third rate college having accepted your fourth rate ideas per the curiculum.
