Subject: New Economic Policies: Citibank sees India as 'uncaged tiger'
Organization: AT&T

* Citibank sees India as 'uncaged tiger'

Washington: Oct 23:  Citibank has urged the international business
community "to relook at India as an attracting place for doing
business and become part of its future growth."
	In a publication prepared by Arthur Anderson, auditors, titled
"Doing Business in India," Citibank describes India as "a tiger
uncaged." It rates India's potential for growth even higher than that
achieved by the East Asian 'tigers' like South Korea.
	It said, "India has long been considered a country with tremendous
potential for economic growth. One of the important factors which has
prevented India from realising its true potential is excessive
administrative control over business activities, stifling enterprise
and initiative.
	"The well-meaning controls which were put in place in the
Fifties and Sixties initially helped India to achieve a degree of
industrialisation and economic development. However, in the Eighties,
excessive government control and restrictions on foreign investment
proved to be a hindrance in capitalising on the country's basic
industrial infrastructure.
	"The picture is different today - India has changed. The
process of liberalisation and economic reforms initiated by the
government is aimed at moving India to the center stage of international 
business."
	India, the illustrated publication points out, is the eleventh
largest industrialised country, with the tenth largest gross domestic
project in the world. "Today India is projecting itself as a modern,
vibrant economy. It has embarked upon an ambitious programme of economic 
reforms to unshackle the economy from government controls, which will help 
in exploiting its rich resources and realising its tremendous potential.
	"India today is a tiger uncaged - a giant who has awakened. It
is widely accepted that India has the potential to achieve economic
growth, higher than the growth achieved by newly industrialised countries 
in the Asia pacific region."          [ The Hindu ]

From your tone it looks like your are not an Indian national, and don't hold
an indian passport. You seem to belong to the sardars who have migrated to 
canada and even changed their names (Gary) to integrate with their 
 adopted country. Now you confess love for your  land and people  and your way
 of showing love is to fund terrorists who end up killing your dear brothers and
sisters ( more sikhs are killed in punjab than hindus). You guys  do not
have the right to condem the goondas who killed innocent sikhs in 1984 as you
continue doing it even today. Besides the sikh problem is our (indian) problem
and we as indians ( hindus and sikhs ) will solve it, it is none of your 
business. By supporting terrorists who harm our country you have committed 
a crime and just as the americans and israelis we should be able to extradite
you guys and try you for your crimes. A bill is in the motion of being passed
in
UK and we should try to have similar treaties with US and Canada. So better
start running .....try your khalisthan bullshit in the south pole.

I agree totally that there was no landslide. However, I disagree totally
with the statement that 57% of the people voted against Clinton. Not
voting for somebody is entirely different than voting against him. It
seems extremely unlikely to me that all the Bush and Perot supporters
are united against Clinton as of this moment. (Senator Dole, are you

I'm guessing that Clinton will examine the "world order" afresh.  I hope he
won't be swayed by alliances of the past and that, motivated by feelings of
benevolence, he will distribute aid more evenly than President Bush has done.

A typically pathetic and improper response from a whining, cowardly cur.
While your dog days on SCI may be over and it remains for your systems admin. 
to haul you off the net by your dog collar for leading a dog's life and coming
out the loser in several acerbic verbal dog fights.

Incidentally, "dog-eared" is a term used to refer to a shabby or worn out book 
and is *NOT* a clarion call for you to reveal your sado-masochistic tendencies
on the net involving the canine auditory or vestibular system. And next time
before dashing off one of your ignorant and moronic posts, check the Webster's
dictionary or Thesaurus for appropriateness, i.e. assuming you can find it
amidst the "faggot" paraphernalia that forms your staple reading material.

Hi,

I have put the images to nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100)
to directory /pub/culture/indian/pics/.
There's two images:
-rw-r--r--  1 kouhia      75374 Nov  6 00:22 chiru_roja.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 kouhia     130791 Nov  4 00:51 sundara_kaanDam.jpg

Note that the sundara image is bigger than the one posted to SCI&SCIT.
The reason is that the quality of the image is better.
  (Instead of default jpeg Q-value 75, it is used Q-value 90;
  viewers don't need those numbers only those who make jpeg-images.)
Also, the new sundara is a bit darker than previous one.

Thank you all who made this possible.

First of all, out of respect for the female readership on SCI I have
changed the title of this string from that insensitive, abusive header.
Those boys who contributed to it by their obsession with anatomy, I believe,
have done so out of their inability and insecurity to treat women as equals.
Perhaps their are embarassed and self-conscious about their own "short-

And therein lies the problem.  People don't like change especially
when it risks their skin.  And that too when for the past 40 years
you have been acting like Mother Hen.  Telling people that they only 
have to do the right thing and America will take care of them.  
Pounding Iraq into the ground, and even now continuing to humiliate 
them in the name of justice.  

In other words, in matters of life and death people would prefer 
consistency rather than change which has been so heavily promised 
in the election campaign.

Is this a major pacifist plea.  Does this mean America will never
fight another war.  That is exactly what they said about the Iraqis
before the Gulf War.  But look what happened.  More Americans got
killed by other Americans than Iraqis.  In the mountains of Bosnia, 
the chances of that happening are probably much greater.  If in an 
open desert you can't recognize your own folks.  I suppose they will 
never know till they try.  Not every War turns into a Vietnam, does it.

Maybe so.  But that (viz. problems will be solved by American armed
action) is the subliminal message, ala SNL, that the World has been 
getting for a long time.  I suppose one of Clinton's jobs will be to 
make sure that people get the right message from now on.
