After I spent eight months or so, I found out that there are basically four types of people in India. Cheaters, liars, thieves and scumbags. The world would be better off without India. George W. Bush was advised to attack India in order to make this world a better place, but he probably couldn’t remember names like Iraq, Iran and India, and I’m guessing that this is why he ordered to attack Iraq; he remembered that the first letter is “I” but couldn’t remember the rest. Too bad. Imagine he had a functioning brain. Imagine he actually ordered to drop a dozen or so nuclear bombs in India. The world would have been a so much better place than before. Very disappointing.
Anyway, since this didn’t happen, I’m thinking about becoming a lobbying now. And, of course, I will lobby Congress to clean up India. I don’t know if Heaven exists on earth or not. I don’t know if God exists or not. But I do know that Hell exists on earth and its name is India. There is no reason not to destroy this Hell …

I had to make a comment about this.
Over the last two months, CNN-IBN has brought you 60 moments that we believe have defined India in the last 60 years. Now, with your help, we have chosen 10 of those moments and here’s the tenth: the beginning of economic liberalisation.
New Delhi: Once there was the planned economy, there were the five-year plans, government controls and the license permit raj.
But the socialist economy became a predator impoverishing masses of people, preventing the Indian from dreaming of a better life.
Economic reforms began in 1991. Then finance minister Manmohan Singh, slashed at the controls that burdened his countrymen.
Since then taxes have been lowered, public sector monopolies of industries has been broken, there’s been massive deregulation of industry, sectors like civil aviation have been opened to private players.
Import duties have been reduced, restrictions on import of technology have been cut - the result? An economy booming at eight and a half per cent growth.
Skylines are changing fast. There are malls, there are mobile phones, and there are new cars, new gadgets and a new class of newly rich Indians creating a lifestyle unseen in India.
Before the greatest dilemma: are the riches trickling down to the poorest? Some say yes, others say no.
Yet economic reforms have set free the Indian entrepreneur.
The world watched when Mittal acquired Arcelor and Tata acquired Corus. This was a defining moment in Indian history.

So, what is this article? Is it discussing about anything? No, it doesn’t even explain what the trickle down economy is, never mind discussing about it. This is one of billion articles written by so called journalists in India. Journalism in India is so … pitiful. Articles they write are about nothing; they don’t discuss about anything. They don’t explain anything. They don’t even present accurate data often. Not that Journalisms in many of so called developed countries like US are great, but journalism in India is so pathetic.
