    Hah ! None of you matter ! Only we matter !

    Seriously , I'd say that female literacy is not lagging considerably behind male literacy .

    As for poverty , it is changing . Slowly , yes , but surely , too .

      India the next superpower? Not if they don't deal with the impending AIDs crisis (which is neglected).... or the fact that they have 1 billion people (a majority of who don't have a roof over their head).
      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

          I wonder where these perceptions of India as a poverty-stricken hellhole come from . It's a rather vey small minority that doesn't have roof over it's head . And given the recent economic upswing , the will , given the time .

            Laughable at best. I'm not saying it is a hellhole. It is a culturally rich country. But it is poverty stricken. A very small minority don't have a roof over it's head? Somehow I doubt that.

              don't forget the caste system

              I presume it is still very powerful there.
              India is an amazing place - I urge all of you to go there and see. It's about twenty years since I went there and travelled back in time it seemed thousands of years (in ways). Only about thirty years concerning motor-cars though - back in the eighties they were fifties types, with tiny variation and the vast majority were taxies. Now, the rich can buy up-to date-types, much as in the west. Wonder how much more has changed?
              Hey, to think they can shoot great-big rockets into space and have gigantic armed forces equipped with latest form of devilry, including the big one.
              A great power they are (much more than puffed-up-pathetic little UK - irony eh?). Don't know whether to love this (I love Indians) or despair, for evil people are there in plenty just like everywhere else. Was going to rant more about this India thread but previous sentence says stop.

                  Their armed forces is full of conscripts. It would be expected of a large military. The Indian Airforce is full of lousy MiG-21s..

                  "Official figures reveal at least 221 MiG-21s, worth tens of millions of dollars, were lost in crashes between 1991 and 2000, killing around 100 pilots."

                  221? Damn.

                    lovely Rani's

                    ...but before this, the above post by Giancarlo makes me say that I did not mean to imply that the IAF is anything like as wonderful as the mighty USAF, what with their mass precision bombings and all.
                    But back to more serious things. The above Rani, though totally gorgious, is a nothing compared to Rani Lakshmi Bai (of Jhansi). Lest I be thought of a traitor to my kind, the defence of the Residency at Lucknow (and the several reliefs of) was also a marvellous thing, though something quite different. There is so much more.
                    As I said, India is amazing. Hollywood, Bollywood.....whateaver fantasy.... are all rubbish.

                      I never said that! I never said anything about the USAF. I'm just saying the Indian military is lousy.

                          I'm a gay punk. You couldn't outdance me even if you tried. You are straight. Gay guys dance better. We just got more sexy legs.

                              You just don't get it.

                              It is a law of nature that a str8 guy can't outdance a gay guy.
