Jim Rogers was a harsh critic of India in his Adventure Capitalist book.  Now read why in this B/W Article. Clearly there is no infrastructure. For photos and on the spot commentary go to Jim Rogers website

Now ask yourself, why are American companies willing to roll the dice on their future in a place like this with little or no infrastructure and a hap hazard legal system at best.  Surely it is not all cost. Part of the reason has to be escaping the burdensome layers of regulation and taxes in this country.  Given all of this, is it really cheaper to be in India while our small towns and cities wither on the vine here.  Take a stroll through a West Texas or South Texas town and tell me things are great there.  OK, the price of oil is up and West Texas is on a roll again, for the time being. 

Will India address such concerns?  Hmm I think I will add Bridge Over the River Kuwai for the Ethics list, should we be building India better infrastructure than they can build themselves? Is this fair to small town America?  Is it any wonder the South Bronx or southside Chicago look like they do when American business is fleeing this country?  Just wondered….
