Many (if not most) children of our top civil servants, judges, industry captains, media moguls, established artists, military top brass, doctors, lawyers, thought-leaders and builders are now settled in US or plan to do so.
No wonder US rules over minds of India’s effective policy makers or indirect rulers.
Indian society’s acceptance of personal wealth as the only criterion of success is a further proof of how American way has prevailed.
And what else is the American way?
While I was working at a major IT transnational company, on seeing a presentation foil titled “Operating System Wars”, my South Korean colleague exclaimed that war was the only way Americans knew how to conceptualise or solve a problem!
No surprises therefore to read a survey in Newsweek June 4, 2007 that says world trusts China (46%) to act more responsibly than US (43%).
Global warming? Bomb the damn thing with water! (Haven't seen funnier and sadder picture than this for a long time)
