What a waste of a paragraph,and I won't continue discussing such silly arguments of 'who needs who more'. My point was that nobody is doing anyone favors, not that the Gulf is doling out barrels as charity, some people on here made foolish comments and I provided an example of just how dumb such arguments are by extending the argument, and it can be further extended, but it's stupid to debate scenarios that will never happen, I wish more people would realize that.
As for what I said about the Indian economy, I studied for a year with a renowned American (originally Indian) economist who worked with the IMF for decades, and has published several books/journal articles based on his work/research on India's development/growth, his work is used in a lot of Indian universities, and he is the one who first introduced me to the issues I raised above, and I explored it in more depth. No offense, but unless you have an identical background to his I really can't give much weight to the points you raised as he is an expert in the field, and based on his work his general argument is that India has a lot to overcome, and could do so much faster by addressing what I mentioned above, I obviously did not elaborate as it a subject too deep for a forum like this. and I don't know why you interpret what I said as 'pointing fingers', I just said Indians should be focusing on improving their country. No need to get all sensitive on me brah.
