Co-Blogger wanted

No, not for this site, not immediately anyway.

Looks like The Other Idiots blog is now left with only two bloggers: Amar Akbar Anthony (AAA) (founder) and Dilip D'Souza (whose profile we covered here).

The increasingly loony stance (*) of AAA has driven away most of the other bloggers. Abi hasn't written any article recently. Annie is unlikely to want to get her nose rubbed again. Anand, Vikrum, Uma and Pablo went back to where they came from. There is a new dude, Rajshekhar. Whatever.

Dilip D'Souza quotes from an article about the relative strengths of India vs. China. He admits that the topic has been discussed so much that it is yawn inducing. Needless to say he picked this one out because it gave him some food for his communist beliefs.

He picks out two paragraphs from the said article. The first one contains the words elitist, egalitarian, higher caste and has this statement:

India's leaders have largely represented the interests of the highest castes in a very stratified society. Growth has not been as important as preserving the elite's privileges.

The second one contains this statement:

As India's investment environment improves, however, capital will become more abundant and, rates of return will fall. In other words, to sustain higher rates of economic growth, India must paradoxically become a less efficient user of capital.

Please discuss.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has finally stepped in. For full coverage, please check out blogger RealityCheck's post.
