I see that Walter is taking up where Ulhas left off. Ulhas used to post on
PEN-L and Marxmail but left in disgust with prevailing Leninist and Marxist
attitudes that capitalism was underdeveloping India. Nowadays, he sticks to
LBO-Talk where he crossposts articles like "India joins Europe's Galileo
satellite system" or "Malaysia needs to develop nuclear energy: MINT
official". Some of this stuff reminds me of the advertising supplements you
get in the Sunday NY Times every so often put out by some 3rd world country
boosting investment possibilities for foreigners: "The New Madagascar,
where technology and a trained workforce are performing miracles every day"
or "Guatemala: a bridge to the 21st Century built on new foundations".
