some people always like to write negative and pathetic comments. I used to work in semiconductor industry in late 70’s and 80’s . That time korea ,taiwan and china were big zero in semiconductor. a lot of Indians were doing well in semiconductor at IBM ,ti and in silicon valleys. several times my plant manager used to ask me when is India going to help us setup assembly and manufacturing plant. the policy of nehru and entire gandhi clan was to keep India poor and illiterate.They never knew how the jobs are created like brahmin priest living rich while everyone else poor. look all these countries were poor and look where they are today. just having investment is not a crime. The communist philosophy is only appreciated by selfish people like a k sen enjoying both the benefits of us and india and still complaining. They want good for their family and themselves and trash for everyone else.
