		<description>I have perused this with interest. And I do find that this chat, which is informative, seems to revolve around two issues: one, newspapers, and two, their use (most posted upon) just because one guy talked about it - using it as toilet paper. Two comments: one, get your facts right. 1 billion people is not correct. That is the whole population, consisting of kids, youngsters, dads, moms, elders, etc. Second, what use is the newspaper after it is read. It is the highest low value commodity. IF it is NOT, rpt IF it is NOT, reaching you first thing in the morning, it becomes valueless ! Second, if it is read and put to other use, as pointed out by others, what is wrong if it used as toilet paper. Or should it be thrown on the streets as is done in the country that this dude comes from ? Third, look at the English he is writing.... misspelled words.. et al. Dude (check et al, if you don&#039;t know it). Let me tell you, and yes, I visit villages often, very remote, very difficult to live in, and they go to computer classes, and they do know how to use it. I am 54, and started with computers in 1982, and today I learn from these people in the villages also .. Buzzz offff sorry at this age to write like this. Get your facts right first. I have been to your country and I know what it is. I apologize if I have hurt your sensitivities, but I too have one. Have a good day!</description>

		<description>Mr. Aniruddh:

I think your guest realized that you took him to places where only top 1 percent of the Indian population have access.

I think when he said the real India, he meant the places in India where Indians in the middle of the social-economic bell curve live, work, and hang out.  Unfortunately, he is correct in assuming that these places are slums.  

Even the Indians here at work in corporate America admit that to this day, most of their countrymen do not know or need to know what a computer is.  When you are worried about where your next bowl of rice curry will be coming from, you don&#039;t have the luxury /privilege of having to make a decision about whether to use Google, Yahoo, or Bing.</description>

		<description>To the contrary my friend.  It is easier for me to &quot;know&quot; things about India here in the US than it is for you to know about your own country as you&#039;re sitting inside the borders.  The reason is because our media and educational system are up to date and of high quality.  Therefore, if you want to know more about your own country, as someone in the US to look it up for you.  Remember, they say:  &quot;sometimes, it is difficult to see the box while you&#039;re sitting inside the box.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;VAST majority of people there are the most backward, illiterate, and primitive people.&quot;

Well let&#039;s accept it that VAST people in india are illiterate but in what ways?

Don&#039;t know how to write? or Don&#039;t know how to read? or Don&#039;t know English?  

Who don&#039;t know English for then Google create local language version. here you can count people who just don&#039;t know how to read or write in illiterate community. but tell me if vast people illiterate in read then why Times of India is the “world’s largest circulated English daily” and India’s total reader-base is close to 100 million(source:wiki)

If you don&#039;t know the nos check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_India  where you can find 82 % young Indian in Literacy http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/india_statistics.html.

I think International media just need to represent India as a pour and backward or so called third world country. i had a personal experience that i wanna share here. One of International journalist with a European news agency wanna cover some news here n India. I know him personally so he contacted me that he need to shoot something good for the report. when he was in India i shown him good places like gov buildings, collages like IIM, malls, temples, and many things. after all the tour he told me that he wanna see real India. I mean what you mean by that? so he explained real India means slums, Porty, backward areas etc?!?

So slums and backward areas etc is only real India? Good infrastructure or good places cant be the representation of India?</description>

		<description>Poverty=Illiteracy I dont know about that but I&#039;m agree with Momar, its totally true that all young Indians just wanna leave country because of lots of money in u/s and outside India. in Google how many Indians are working to develop new technologies? for sure you will find many Indians. Not only Google but all giant companies like Yahoo, Microsoft, Sun, Apple or if you take other industries like Pepsi, coca cola, everywhere Indians contributing but at the last its about then. its not about the country.

Student at IIM or IIT or NID do study and getting world class qualification in filed of Management and Technology &amp; Designing. they all think that they spend lots of money by their own pockets so for sure they can run for big Jobs so they can cover their expanses and for that they gonna find good jobs only out side of India. This is the thinking of the students. They think that government not spending money on us. our parents spending money from their pockets  but that&#039;s wrong..who building these reputable institutes? who is giving grants? who is spending in education infrastructure? the answer is Government and after the all spending, students going out side of India for posh jobs and money.

so government spending money to train student and to export them in out side of india. According to me IIM and IIT are brand factory to export hub of students.

Lots of my friends are study in abroad. I asked one of my friend that why you&#039;re not staying in India to contribute your knowledge and skills? why you have to go outside India to get job and to do studies? he answered me &quot;whats in India? there is nothing in India. There is no future in India. What my county did for me? nothing then why should i live here?&quot;

My answer is, don&#039;t think that what&#039;s your country did for you but think that what you did for your country.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m just implying the obvious and that is there is an inverse correlation between literacy rates and poverty rates.  No one here can deny that there is a correlation.  Of course there are exceptions, but those are ... exceptions, not rule.

In fact, I would venture to say that illiteracy &amp; poverty also inversely correlate with cultural development.  

Even the Indians in England and US exhibit some primitive cultural practices that prevents them from assimilating.  Indian engineers  in corporate settings don&#039;t bath daily, and thus exude strong scents.  Indian women employees wear strange outfits to work, totally ignoring cultural and corporate norms.  Both men and women speak LOUDLY in Hindi in the presence of their White co-workers.  I once knew an Indian lawyer who would take off his shoes and run around the office barefooted all day.  He would scramble in a panic dash to find his shoes when a client comes in, but didn&#039;t have the sense to leave them on.    I wonder if Indian doctors take off their shoes and walk around the operating room bare-footed during surgery.</description>

		<description>I can see why they did this. In India people still rate print ads very high. 

If you are in print media then you are suppose to be big,good and powerful.

		<description>Not necessarily, Casual. But looks like there may be people who dont read the article before posting such questions. Look at the ad, it doesnt say &quot;There is a new thing called google&quot;, it says &quot;you can search airfare using google&quot;. Which, a lot of people dont. I have friends who go to kayak or priceline or any such airfare aggregators than go to google. ,</description>

		<description>Oh man, you are the logic guru. So Poverty=Illiteracy?

So if GM declares Chapter 11 Bankruptcy because they cannot pay off their debts (read became poor) does that mean they lost what they learned and became cavemen?</description>

		<description>Are u serious? Bing is not even close to what Google does!

Unless ofcourse ur firm is called Microsoft I dont understand why anybody would make such a radical change to Bing, when Bing has not even estabilished it&#039;s credibility!

Try comparing search results, you&#039;ll see what I mean.</description>

		<description>The World Bank estimates that 456 million Indians (42% of the total Indian population) now live under the global poverty line of $1.25 per day (PPP). This means that a third of the global poor now reside in India.  Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India

At first, I thought David Ord was joking when he said there are 1 Billion indians who are illiterate.  But based on almost a half billion Indians making less than $1.25 a day, may be it not too far off that there must be hundreds of millions of Indians who are illiterate.  

Wow, that&#039;s a lot of poverty.  Indians need to focus more on the war on poverty and less on the race in technology.  It seems there is a considerable brain drain out of the country probably due to greed.  Large numbers of Indians who are smart leave the country to come to England and the US for posh jobs, rather than staying in India to contribute to the growth the economy.  Without an adequate pool of human capital, a country as a whole will never escape mass poverty.  

All this talk about google and tech seems more and more irrelevant.</description>
