CAN INDIA MATCH HER SLUMDOG'S LUCK?

Yes! Yes! Yes! She already has! For IT (which suits her youth's talents) to become a major world industry was indeed huge luck. The failure of her right wing bigots' efforts from Independence to exile the English language from India - because it was not a part of "our culture" - was added luck.

Now India requires concerted endeavour to lose that luck! But that effort is going on .With great vigour. A blind eye to the millions living in slumdog conditions. Growing numbers of unlawabiding politicians. Growing numbers of unlawabiding policemen. Growing numbers of bigots (those who targeted English earlier) now assaulting even a girl and boy or a wife and husband for showing a simple sign of affection in public, like holding hands - because it is against "our culture."

People with poor civilisational values are doing their best undo India's slumdog-like luck.
