Proof of your vacuity

In fact globalization has been a disaster for the poor of India, as it has been here.

This is the India the west needs to LEARN from. Globalization, in your view, amounts to exploitation of non-Western countries and messianic propagation of your own pernicious, exploitative worldview, shared by your radical right fellow-travellers. And your chest-pounding announcement of your humanity makes me ill. You have about as much humanity as an ICBM.

Most likely, the influx of American cash to India has exacerbated two problems they need to fix on their own - a natural tendency to social stratification; and being the West's "brain bitch" - the "bloody wogs" of the English lords - a people who exist only to be servile to the West. This is insulting and degrading to a great people who are NOT US but have their own worldview and contribution to make. Sadly, the Indians are as poorly served by their government and cadre of greedy opportunists as we are.

And you are no liberal - you are a collectivist radical rightist. Jefferson was a liberal. You are as far from Jefferson as can be imagined.

England gave them an infrastructure, and they just let it rust for the sake of Gandhi's silly village economy (commune) scheme. That sad country's prospects have only recently begun to look better, thanks to some free market reforms, leading to an influx of jobs from... the West.

What India has to offer is cheap labor and raw materials. That's it. That's their contribution. Their culture's a complete bust, and so is the [link|http://www.hvk.org/articles/0503/230.html|racist], [link|http://www.friesian.com/caste.htm|elitist], [link|http://www.sanatansociety.org/yoga_and_meditation/hinduism_philosophy_maya_illusion.htm|reality-spurning ]worldview that supports it. It doesn't work. Never did, never will. They were losers long before America came along. Long before the East India company came along. Even before the Moghuls came along. They haven't been able to get their act together since the Gupta empire fell apart.

Everyone's as badly served as he's willing to put up with, and as badly served as he serves himself. It's always Somebody Else's Fault.
