A journalist if Pakistan, Dr. Farrukh Saleem has written the following Here's what is happening in India: The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare. The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare. The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese. In November, Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex flirted with 20,000 points. As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries became a $100 billion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65 billion). Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance. In November, comes Neeta's birthday. Neeta turned f orty-four three weeks ago. Look what she got from her husband as her birthday present: A sixty-million dollar jet with a custom fitted master bedroom, bathroom with mood lighting, a sky bar, entertainment cabins, satellite television, wireless communication and a separate cabin with game consoles. Neeta is Mukesh Ambani's wife, and Mukesh is not India 's richest but t he second richest. Mukesh is now building his new home, Residence Antillia (after a mythical, phantom island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean ). At a cost of $1 billion this would be the most expensive home on the face of the planet. At 173 meters tall Mukesh's new family residence, for a family of six, will be the equivalent of a 60-storeyed building. The first six floors are reserved for parking. The seventh floor is for car servicing and maintenance. The eighth floor houses a mini-theatre. Then there's a health club, a gym and a swimming pool. Two floors reserved for Ambani family's guests. Four floors above the guest floors are family floors all with a superb view of the Arabian Sea . On top of everything are three helipads.. A staff of 600 is expected to care for the family and their family home. In 2004, India became the 3rd most attractive foreign direct investment destination. Pakistan wasn't even in the top 25 countries. In 2004, the United Nations, the representative body of 192 sovereign member states, had requested the Election Commission of India to assist the UN in the holding elections in Al Jumhuriyah al Iraqiyah and Dowlat-e Eslami-ye Afghanestan. Why the Election Commission of India and not the Election Commission of Pakistan? After all, Islamabad is closer to Kabul than is Delhi . Imagine, 12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian origin; 38 percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28 percent of IBM employees are Indians. For the record: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail. Sun Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla. The Intel Pentium processor, that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham. Rajiv Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard's E-speak project. Four out of ten Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians. Bolly wood produces 800 movies per year and s ix Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World titles over the past 10 years. For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore.India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire). The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating wealth. In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani's father, left his two sons a fortune worth $2.8 billion. In 2007, their combined wealth stood at $94 billion. On 29 October 2007, as a result of the stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to US$63.2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56 billion). Indians and Pakistanis have the same Y-chromosome haplogroup. We have the same genetic sequence and the same genetic marker (namely: M124). We have the sam e DNA molecule, the same DNA sequence. Our culture, our traditions and our cuisine are all the same. We watch the same movies and sing the same songs. What is it that Indians have and we don't? INDIANS ELECT THEIR LEADERS And also to mention: They think of Construction of own nation, unlike nations who are just concerned with destruction of others :) Special reference (from Siliconindia) Indian immigrants are always a significant driving force behind the creation of new engineering and technology companies in the United States in the past decade. It is estimated that there are 35,000 IITians in the U.S. Different studies indicate that of the estimated 7,300 US tech companies founded by immigrants, 26 percent have Indian founders, CEOs, presidents or head researchers, most of whom are from IIT system. Personal Notes: Well, everything is in favor of India, it seems. In actuality, it is not. India has a massive population and a greater portion of the population is living under the poverty line. The illegal immigration from the neighboring countries, especially Bangladesh is also a matter of concern. Also, the distribution of wealth is not uniform. While Mukeshji has become the corporate icon and the richest person in the world, there are crores of people who never get education, leave apart the fact that they become entrepreneurs. India’s governance is one of the most complicated in the world and corruption is also alarmingly high. The success of India Inc, is due to the industrious nature of the entrepreneurs and since they are honest, India has achieved great advantage in terms of business. But the political system in India is not transparent and due to lack of capable leaders and bureaucrats, living in India is still a nightmare. India has achieved significant success in Business world but socially, there is hardly any improvement. The number of students who get admission in IITs and IIMs are only a fraction of the whole and India desperately needs many more quality educational institutes. There are enough poor people in India who can’t even let their children have quality education. The success stories of IITians are only available in USA, which is a matter of concern. The question is that why they opt for foreign destinations in comparison to India’s. Getting proper focus and entrepreneurship impetus in India is an ardent task. The good thing about India is that it is a democracy and there is a certain level of openness and acceptance to ideas. India will have to face many challenges but the story so far has been quite impressive. |
