Slashdot Mirror
Third World Research, Development & Innovation
tovarish writes "It is nice to see that countries like India are trying to research communication techniques in backward and rural areas. While tech savvy people like us enjoy the latest gadgets it is quite a challenge to develop gadgets which actually help the poor and illiterate. While India's satellite launches and outsourcing news are already covered in slashdot umpteen times, sometimes her sensible achievements should be covered too."
...and to still expect handouts from first world countries because they're so poor.
India has always struck me as a bizarre place: one of the poorest places in the world and yet they still feel they can afford to have nukes.
Bad analogies are like waxing a monkey with a rainbow.
Democracy? Sonia Gandhi got elected, pressure groups forced her out and replaced her with their un-elected leader. That's no democracy.
