India Is Becoming A World Class Competitor – BUT It Remains a Nation of Huge Disparities




“India has more billionaires than Japan, but it also has 200 million people below the poverty line. The nation’s world-class engineers have underpinned a global outsourcing boom, but 80% of the country’s children drop out of school by the time they reach 15. India’s skilled surgeons have fueled a lucrative medical-tourism industry, but at rural public-health clinics, doctors frequently fail to show up.” (Wall Street Journal, July 23)
