May 6th, 2010

Kasab_hangedThe verdict is out. Kasab, one of the prime suspects of the 2008 Mumbai attacks has been sentenced to be hanged till death.

It is India’s message to the world that capital punishment would be carried out to those who try to disrupt the peace of the country. It is sad that a 22 year old killed so many innocent people who had never harmed him » Read more: Ajmal Kasab To be Hanged – Is it the right verdict?

Many reports say that their infrastructure was the key to their miraculous growth. However, if we compare the infrastructure levels of India with that of China in early 80s, we find that the length of roads, expressways and railway tracks were all higher in India than China. During this period, China had only one resource called human resource or HR.

In the business cycle, all developed economies of the world have started with small innovations, developments and small organizations.
