This is utter nonsense of OFBJP. Unless it takes the following to

qualify for global status -

 

1. sitting meekly after mutilated bodies of your soilders are

returned by a rat-accross-the-border.

 

2. tigers be skinned alive in zoos by zoo officials (Hyderabad zoo,

remember?)

 

3. women be burned on daily basis for dowry, or .... just for fun!!

 

4. a section of the citizens become refugee in their own country

(Kashmiri Pandits, does anyone remember them?)

 

5. close to 15 million illegal immigrants from a the rat-in-the-

neighbourhood enter into India and are awarded with ration cards!

 

6. an enormous workforce of tiny-tots under 10 years of age who

otherwise should be giggling, playing and studying.

 

7. a populace highly critical of OTHERS indulgin in corruption but

gleefully siphoning out every paisa it can.

 

8. a country that feels threatened and intimidated by a handful of

terrorists from accross the border.

 

9. a country with a media that gives more coverage to what nail

polish does Lisa Ray endorse than to the development activities,

social, economic and educational problems in North-East India.

 

OFBJP ....... stop making a fool of yourself. Can your post shows

that you are so bereft of self-confidence and maturity that you need

an America to tell you that our motherland has "now-acquired-global-

status". Those who acquire global status never need anyone to tell

them about it. And, those who keep seeking global status in sugar-

coated words of others, never ever rise.
