Oflate Indians are brimming with pride about their fast growing economy. We should be, for it has grown by an incredible rate of 8%. And if the financial predictions are anything to be true, it will grow on par with that of Japan and Australia, even more than that of European Union. For the first time that I can remember, our debts to the world lenders, like IMF, are paid fully. The confidence is so much that our PM announced that India will set up a fund towards world poverty elimination. Some sort of miracle is happening in India.

Of all these growths, what I am proud of the ruling politicians is, about foreign policy. Even China wants to be a friend with us. Unbelivable, but true. Hats off to Vajpayee, the moderate man in the otherwise right-wing party, for taking these bold initiatives.
