Something to think about - February 2006
On the sixth year anniversary of “Die Hard Indian” newsletter, we present older archived articles, which bring out the glory of India and other relevant issues! When I started this newsletter on 5th March 2000, I did not realize that the reach would extend to about 48,000 Indians world-wide. Hindsight is 20/20 vision! So I am presenting 12 articles from our archives of year 2000. Since inception “Die Hard Indian” has proudly reported our basic belief that India is rightfully ready to occupy the world’s centre-stage. India should compete with China (and that Papistan cannot be ignored but is a mere nuisance)! Our Viewpoint # 1 has older articles talking about how India’s growing economy is now a world story and how India is going to beat China. In a nations Diplomacy, friends or enemies are not permanent, ONLY our national interests are permanent. Hard to believe but it was reported that USA needs India more than India needing the US. Read more about this through our Viewpoint # 2. Earlier Indians did exceedingly well only in the western world. They took advantage of its economic infrastructure while retaining their intrinsic Indian values. Today in India, businesses succeed inspite of the bureaucracy. Things have improved tremendously, simply because of the never-say-die spirit of the Indians. India is already a spiritual and cultural superpower. It’s a matter of time, before we become an economic and a military superpower too! Read about some of our world beaters through sample articles at viewpoint # 3. Finally our last major viewpoint (#4) talks about the world re-discovering India’s beauty. India is the only place on earth to have it all viz. snow-capped mountains, deserts, beaches, forests, historical monuments, palaces, hill stations all in one single country! As mentioned in our February 2000 editorial, India's karma is right and the time has come for India to reclaim her past glory.
Best regards, ========================== DIE HARD INDIAN VIEW POINT # 1
What gives
India the high-tech edge over
China? Its unruliness!
http://www.diehardindian.com/news/keynotes.htm#Reuters From 1900 to 1940, British India recorded a growth rate of negative to near zero per cent. The Asian Development Bank has said INDIA could well begin the new millennium as the world's fastest growing economy. How in the world did India surpass China in leading-edge technology? In 30 years, India will have advanced more than China, with no serious crises and a single market. Watch out world: India is getting to its feet. DIE HARD INDIAN VIEW POINT # 2
Passage To
India
- "Together, India and America can change the world."
- Bill Clinton
http://www.diehardindian.com/news/news3103.htm#USA Over the next 20 years India will do what China did over the last 20 years - emerge as one of the great economic powers of the world. The best way to encapsulate this is that the day Vajpayee came to Washington, [Microsoft Chairman] Bill Gates was in New Delhi. India is now regarded as a country that provides a balance in Asia. A significant factor behind the shift to India is that programmers in Bangalore are simply better. After all, Indians invented the concepts of zero and negative numbers 1,300 years ago. India boasts 15 of the 23 developers worldwide that are reported to have attained the highest grade, CMM level 5. The Indians even sell their remoteness as a virtue. Murthy says that he has achieved his patriotic goal of showing that "it's possible to live in this country and create wealth legally and ethically."

Tired of all-conventions-all-the-time? Then sit right back and let us tell you a vibrantly visual tale. Step into a world unlike any other: India.
