With all due respect Mr Obama



‎Should India give in to America's another bate after Green Revolution era?
"We see India as a huge MARKET for America in future" - Obama ( And he expects us to feel privileged! )
1.Has trickle down effect worked yet that we expect it to work in future?
2.Would it not increase the pace of already increasing disparities between rich and poor?
3."Growth" as Obama calls it - Would it be inclusive? Or like always would excl...ude the major chunk of population?
4.Obama appears over-simplistic when he makes ethnocentric assumption
about similarity between India's and America's value systems, nature of
democracies, nature of ambition and aspirations of both countries.
Mr Obama, you are here with a lopsided view of India.
‎5. Indian intelligentsia is not as naive as America's population to give in to Obama's words which are often loaded with extreme confidence but no substance. What are American bureaucrats doing?They could have at least given the right backdrop to their president.
6. Is it too late for India to restructure or at least rethink about it's model of development? How long would agricultural base remain neglected?
7. Obama talks about "developing" tribals. Again ethnocentric.
