India gives its calling card to the Diaspora

Rediff: "Lyder, the attractive and assertive editor of the Trinidad Express, spoke for the entire Diaspora when she pointed out that India needs to make major strides to attain big power status. 'Look at Delhi. It is a bustling city of course, but it doesn't have the finesse of a world class city,' Lyder said.
Such lack of finesse, not just in the city but also among bureaucrats and political class of India, remains the principle concern of the Diaspora. India's secular future, its poor, its corrupt politicians, its obstructionist bureaucracy, its under-developed infrastructure, its poor communication networks are all among the concerns of the Diaspora, whether they are successful techies of the West or struggling blue collar workers of the Gulf."
