Indian Economy: Growth -3

[Naresh]

<b>Ravish Ji :</b>

Your referring to our interactions - which is on a different Forum - seemingly disregards my opening sentence which states :

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>In my humble opinion</b> Pakistan’s Economic Condition <b>must</b> be better than India as it is much better endowed than India.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You will appreciate what <b>must</b> be is not necessarily what <b>will</b> be. What <b>will</b> be is dependant on the Leadership of the Corporate Entity or Country

One can safely compare the Pakistani Leadership - Armed Forces, Political as well as Bureaucratic - to Colonel Cargill of Joseph Heller’s Catch 22. The following description suits Pakistani Leaders to a <b><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>T</span></b> :

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Colonel Cargill was a forceful, ruddy man. Before the war, he had been an alert, hard-hitting, aggressive marketing executive. He was a very bad marketing executive. Colonel Cargill was so bad a marketing executive that his services were much sought after by firms eager to establish losses for tax purposes. Throughout the civilized world, from Battery Park to Fulton Street, he was known as a dependable man for a fast tax write-off. His prices were high, for failure often did not come easily. He had to start at the top and work himself down, and with sympathetic friends in Washington, losing money was no simple matter. It took months of hard work and careful misplanning. A person misplaced, disorganized, miscalculated, overlooked everything and opened every loophole, and just when he thought he had it made, the government gave him a lake or a forest or an oilfield and spoiled everything. Even with such handicaps, Colonel Cargill could be relied on to run the most prosperous enterprise into the ground. He was a self-made man who owed his lack of success to nobody.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
