"World trade-to-GDP ratio rose until 2008 to reach 61%, before crashing to 52% in 2009.

The trade-to-GDP ratio recovered in 2011 to 60%, but since trended back to 52%"

"South Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) come on top..The case of South Asia, while surprising at first sight, is driven by India and in line with the results in figure.
"After underperforming the world economy and having serious difficulties, India made rapid progress (starting around 1990) in integrating into the global economy and recovered the lost ground to a large extent," the report further added.
"Indian exports are expected to remain under stress due to falling demand in the Western. India’s exports fell 12.7% from $39.7 billion a year earlier to $34.66 billion in April, government data published on Monday showed."
"The article by Ravi Dutta Mishra appears slanted to make it seem as if the lower Trade to GFP figure refers to India, when read along with the reference to last quarters decline in trade.

The clarity that India is a positive contributor raising South Asia's ratio comes later."

Thus neatly side-stepping the self-evident supremacist, exclusive, expansionist and polytheist-hating creed he subscribes to;the belated wide-spread understanding of which among Hindus, is the reason for the current push-back.
Calling out "Muslim-hate" makes out Hindus to be communal, without a cause.

This is the kind of delusional behaviour common among the followers of Islam.

He seems to prefer Hindus to be afflicted by a collective amnesia about the evils inflicted on them by Islam right till

"The court observed that it was disconcerting to note “the weak-kneed and jittery approach of the police and Revenue authorities” when illegalities committed under the garb of religion were brought to their notice."

"The authorities should be mindful of the fact that the laws of the country are equally applicable to all citizens, and no special treatment could be meted out to any person on religious grounds."
"The court also noted that the freedom and right under Article 25 to freely profess, practise and propagate religion were subservient to the right to life and personal liberty guaranteed under Article 21."

आप खुश हैं क्योंकि आपको लगता है कि यह दलितों के पिछले उत्पीड़न की भरपाई करता है, जो आज तक पूरी तरह से समाप्त नहीं हुआ है।

आप देखेंगे कि साबरमती एक्सप्रेस में मुस्लिम भीड़ द्वारा जिंदा जलाए गए 59 हिंदू पुरुषों, महिलाओं और बच्चों के बारे में कोई बात नहीं करता।
इसी से दंगे हुए, जिसमें मुसलमान और हिंदू दोनों मारे गए।

अगर हिंदुओं ने 59 मुसलमानों को जिंदा जला दिया होता तो क्या होता? और उसके बाद दंगे होते तो? अधिक संभावना है कि आपने कहा होगा कि हिंदू इस जघन्य अपराध और उकसावे के लिए इसके हकदार हैं, जो उन्होंने सबसे पहले शुरू किया था, है ना?
2003 में प्रधान मंत्री जॉन हॉवर्ड के नेतृत्व में इसी ऑस्ट्रेलिया ने, एक झूठी रिपोर्ट के आधार पर कि सद्दाम हुसैन के पास सामूहिक विनाश के हथियार थे, अमेरिका और ब्रिटेन के सहयोगी के रूप में इराक पर आक्रमण किया|

* Associate Action B with past Action A which had bad consequences.

* The intent is to rubbish Action B, seemingly without denouncing it, on behalf of major hoarders, by inflaming small holders or even the unaffected.

To bring in a foreign axiom ["No questions asked,” or NQA, is a vital property of money everywhere and at all times, according to MIT's Holmstrom and Yale University’s Gary Gorton]

as if presenting a great truth, when the very object of actions taken, may be to preserve the
sanctity of the currency, [when it is to stop counterfeiting or unearth ill-gotten wealth]

The only people seriously weeping, should be politicians, builders & all manner of tax evaders undeserving of any sympathy.

"It does not operate within a framework of mutual obligation. It does not expect others to come to its aid, and it will not join someone else’s war."

With this stance, India as the fastest rising large power, ensures at one stroke, that:

* China has no reason to feel threatened or insecure on its Western flank.

* Has no real incentive to get India riled up & against it.

* The West cannot take India for granted but can
feel confidence in its peaceful civilisational ethos.

* The rest of the world can rely on a trustworthy partner to champion their cause at multilateral forums, assist in their development, be a market for their products and wield a protective umbrella from time to time.
