Keep them all poor.... (Score 1)

Dude , 40% of Indians were living in poverty in 1990 (BPL) , before the opening up of the Indian economy. Today 23% of Indians live in poverty.Every year , there is atleast 1% drop in the poverty level. How is that not improvement? And IT in India potentially can employ 50 million people by 2008 according to certain experts. Though that is nothing compared to what India's manufacturing sector ,if opened up to foreign investment, is capable of. But what I find interesting is - you guys seem to suggest since a section of India's population is poor (according to you , the majority) , the rest should not e allowed to get rich either. Keep them all poor , eh ? The anger of the laid off geek knows no bounds. Seriously , what harm has poor little India ever done to you ? Get a life.
