1) I never said India was not making progress. Quite the contrary, the fact that some Americans are concerned about Indian computer programmers taking their jobs indicates a level of technical sophistication.

2) At last glance, Ireland was well ahead of Indian in rate of growth. That doesn't diminish India's growth, but don't overstate it.

3) Fine. If my source was outdated, I stand corrected. But it was a western reporter in India in the late 1990s reporting this.

4) People do not just go where there is money, but where there is opportunity and liberty. Let me know when there is mass immigration into India, even from her far more backward neighbors.

Ok-why don't you check the status of Bangladeshi refugees in India-at last count,there were over 30 million(of which around 10% were legal) & the number is increasing frantically & will continue to till India completes it's border fence with Bangladesh.Lots of Nepalis,especially Gurkhas & Sherpas go to work in India.The Indian army is the source for sustenance of countless Nepali Gurkha families.Oh ,did I leave out that most ordinary Pakistanis would dearly love to come to India if visa regulations were not so rigid.
