| Not sure what your problem is, India or Bill Gates? You seem to have a problem with both. >>- apathy from upper/middle class towards lower classes Why in God's name will a middle class guy, who probably is having a thousand different battles in his own life get up every day morning to work for some body poor? By now, 'the poor' need to realize its not somebody else job do their work. Chances are no one ever will, not just in India but anywhere in the world. >>- willingness from normal citizens to live with human feces on the streets, eat in restaurants with huge garbage piles right in front How is this any different than the western world during the Industrial revolution? So some place like the US during the great depression? You seem to be assuming a passing state of a society as its permanent condition. There are plenty of urban/rural housing settlement/societies in India which are as neat and clean as any western city. >>- spinelessness/cowardness from the voting public Care to give a few examples?? >>so what if there are smart people in india? Now that you acknowledge that there are smart people in India. I guess you better prepare for some darn hard competition coming from us. >> they are spineless/uncompassionate/unfeeling/unprideful. Seriously??? How is any different than people in any country in the world. Do you think voting matters or is significant even in a country like the US. How many times were the US citizens able to prevent their country from going to war? Or how many times have they been able to change their unemployment problem themselves? You seem to have a seriously problem with India, no idea why that is so. |
They managed to stop an ongoing war once (Vietnam). Other than that, how can you tell when a decision to go to war has been overturned because of civilian activity. It seems that at one point, the US was quite bent on attacking Iran, but that never happened.

This is just conjecture, but seeing as this is Hacker News, perhaps he had to work with Indian IT subcontractors at some point in his life. Without having a grander vision of the world that may easily lead to some practical racism.
