Hello Rajeev

Here is the complete report. Refer to page 4 the graph regarding % of world GDP and the fall after the "Religion of peace " and religion of love" came to India.

I second, Narendra Bhai Modi for Prime Minister

How come all this does not get reported in the "mainstream" media? Simple - they just love to hate Modi, simply because they just need someone to hate.
Reflect on the near-hysterical delight those worthies were in when Modi was denied a Visa by the Yanks - and by the way - if Modi ever became PM (and it increasingly looks like he might at least try - the Geriatrics club in the BJP willing or not) - then the first thing he should tell the Yanks is to go suck on it and take their shitty industrial-gas-belchers to China - he can just focus on the ports. Anyone ever wondered why Dubai is a bigger port though anything in Gujarat has more strategic advantage in shipping? I means exactly what the hell is it that gets manufactured in Dubai? It's not even close to any oil - so if Dubai can make it - you bet your ass - Gujarat can make it too!

Exactly, the silence of Indian mass media over Modi's incredible achievements is pathetic.. He is undoubtedly one of India's best CM's. He has stuck to his ideology inspite of strident critcism and works his ass off to make Gujarat India's foremost states (it already was)..I wish he makes the third term in Gujarat and once and for all shut the mouths of India's biggest nemesis..(its Media)..
y doesnt India have its version of Fox news.. right wing.. and popular?

not to forget my vote for BJP if Modi is their PM candidate!!
I long for a true Hindu to be India's PM..He could be the Vallabhai Patel as PM we never had..

A very impressive article about Modi. There must be a site and fan club of Modi somewhere out there on the internet collecting all such articles. Anyone got the link? If there isnt, then may be we should start one.

ghostwriter, yes ports can be engines of economic growth. see what singapore has done with practically nothing else, just as dubai has. port + SEZ combination makes good sense for light and heavy engineering goods. inland SEZs are a scam for real estate players.

Rajeev,
Thinking about the SEZ thing - I quite agree than inland SEZ's are perhaps not the thing. Unless linked to agricultural produce as input - packaged meals perhaps being good example - or how about jute/hemp based packaging? Environmentally friendly, bio-degradable and a thousand times stronger than the silly brown bags the Yanks pack their lunch in.

The SEZ thing is fairly easy to sort out on another criteria - the agricultural potential of the land in question. If given a choice I would any day go with agriculture as opposed to plastic bicycles (I can sense reader san fuming). However, what do you do with the arid desert of Rajasthan for example? not part of any ecologically sensitive system, or agricultural produce - it is perfect candidate for manufacturing. If only they can get their policies right (producing a certain number of engineers etc.) - and if we invest in Solar energy fired SEZ's over there - oh Mama! - we can power the desert back to life - a la - Las Vegas. Only culturally richer and environmentally more friendly
