The Indians traveling on board, who are well-off enough for a long-distance train fare but not rich enough to fly, are full of hope. They cheerfully point to signs of rising fortunes in the passing landscape. On board, too, there is plenty of evidence of a rising middle class: college students who crowd around laptops to watch screechy Bollywood films. For many Indians, a decade-long boom has brought obvious gains. But for such progress to continue, and for India to achieve its ambition to become a great power, two things are necessary: a government that keeps its finances in order and consistently fast economic growth. Worryingly, both of these are now in serious doubt. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
