Capital suggestion

Here's what is happening in India :
The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on
the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30
billion to spare.
The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over
a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to
spare.
The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese.
In November, Bombay Stock Exchange's benchmark Sensex flirted with
20,000 points. As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries
became a $100 billion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65
billion). Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance.
In November, comes Neeta's birthday. Neeta turned forty-four three weeks
ago. Look what she got from her husband as her birthday present: A
sixty-million dollar jet with a custom fitted master bedroom, bathroom
with mood lighting, a sky bar, entertainment cabins, satellite
television, wireless communication and a separate cabin with game
consoles. Neeta is Mukesh Ambani's wife, and Mukesh is not India's
richest but the second richest. Mukesh is now building his new home,
Residence Antillia (after a mythical, phantom island somewhere in the
Atlantic Ocean ). At a cost of $1 billion this would be the most
expensive home on the face of the planet. At 173 meters tall Mukesh's
new family residence, for a family of six, will be the equivalent of a
60-storeyed building. The first six floors are reserved for parking. The
seventh floor is for car servicing and maintenance. The eighth floor
houses a mini-theatre. Then there's a health club, a gym and a swimming
pool. Two floors are reserved for Ambani family's guests. Four floors
above the guest floors are family floors all with a superb view of the
Arabian Sea . On top of everything are three helipads. A staff of 600 is
expected to care for the family and their family home.
In 2004, India became the 3rd most attractive foreign direct investment
destination.. Pakistan wasn't even in the top 25 countries.
In 2004, the United Nations, the representative body of 192 sovereign
member states, had requested the Election Commission of India to assist
the UN in the holding elections in Al Jumhuriyah al Iraqiyah and
Dowlat-e Eslami-ye Afghanestan. Why the Election Commission of India and
not the Election Commission of Pakistan? After all, Islamabad is closer
to Kabul than is Delhi .
Imagine, 12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian origin; 38
percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists
are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28
percent of IBM employees are Indians.
For the record: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail... Sun
Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla. The Intel Pentium processor,
that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham. Rajiv
Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard's E-speak project. Four out of ten
Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians. Bollywood produces 800
movies per year and six Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World
titles over the past 10 years.
For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face
of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore.India now
has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single
dollar billionaire) .
The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating
wealth. In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani's father, left
his two sons a fortune worth $2.8 billion. In 2007, their combined
wealth stood at $94 billion. On 29 October 2007, as a result of the
stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh
became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to
US$63.2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56
billion).
Indians and Pakistanis have the same Y-chromosome haplogroup. We have
the same genetic sequence and the same genetic marker (namely: M124). We
have the same DNA molecule, the same DNA sequence. Our culture, our
traditions and our cuisine are all the same. We watch the same movies
and sing the same songs. What is it that Indians have and we don't?
INDIANS ELECT THEIR LEADERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And also to mention: They think of Construction of own nation, unlike
other nations who are just concerned with destruction of others...
Simple answer why the Indian fare better than the Pakis'.. They don't
focus on religion and neither do they spend time and money in devising
ways to kill their own and everyone else over religion.
