the sic should be after "Hindu", a coinage by an economist, I forget the
name, suggesting pejoratively that there is something inherent in
(Hindu) India that retards growth.  The contemporary experience (staunchly
rightist Hindu ruling regime within the constraints of parliamentary
democracy) proves otherwise.  India's growth rate (despite this year's
delayed monsoon hence recessionary conditions) remains one of the
highest in the world.
