“India: open mind, no food..............”
India’s food grain production at record high: RBI
http://www.commodityonline.com/news/topstory/newsdetails.php?id=7743
“the total foodgrains production is slated to reach an all-time high at 227.3 million tonnes, recording an increase of 4.6 per cent over the previous year (217.3 million tonnes). The production during 2007-08 would exceed the target set earlier (221.5 million tonnes) by 5.8 million tonnes.”
Get it right next time.
Problem with your one line analysis is that they are not only just plain wrong but they just dont give the full picture. Chinese Internet boom is unparalleled and notwithstanding their selective censorship of anti- Chinese literature which is actually enforced by American private companies, sometime in the coming future the number of Chinese sites on the Internet will actually outnumber that of the US. Chinese private consumption is up at 40% (but still below the world average of 60%) is hardly a worry in a country where the middle class population is more the 80 million strong. On the brighter side their export industry is massive and their government isnt as shit broke as the US.
“No daughter”...... a bit of an overstatement, inconsequential other then just being a source of inconvenience for some young men.
