some, that have been in place since then, are still neglected and cater to only a handful of services today, 104 years from then.

yes-we didnt develop railways after that- we were too concentrated on food- who wants to travel fast on a hungry stomach-did China and British ever have the issue of someone else completely looting them of even bare minimum requirements

Re# 808100-30              
As per calculation we indians looted indians in this 60 years than what other did. Why we have to blame China or British for our own people mistake. As per reports every year india loosing 16 lakh crs on corruption. Lets stop blaming on what happened on earlier. We are just 40 crs people by 1947 now ?? Any body stopped us to not control population. I agree we have to protect our back, but is it really helps ??

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
