  • Darshan, you need to work on your spelling. It is nukiller.

    NPR, PBS and pretty much all the news channels yesterday were flooded with "the deal". And also stories like that (Surya mentioned). Nothing surprising I would say. In a way it's good to have a balanced persepective.

    There are 1.1 billion people in India. Only 200 million are said to be reaping the benefits of the reforms. 700 million others are still considered to below poverty level.

    Here is another startling fact.

    Needless to say India has a long way to go and it's going to take time. Positive thing is that the proverbial wheel is in motion and it's not going to stop any time soon.

    As regards to going back, I think the situation varies from individual to individual but you may want to consider this before taking a final decision.
