Isnt it true that India is not just a sum total of all states but a much larger picture to it. Isnt it true that if hypothetically we look at the collective might of all the countries that we compared India with, how big they would be. <br /><br />Well, Ramesh and Economist are beyond rajalakshmis, so i take it at face value :-)Sandhya Sriramhttp://sandhyasriram.sulekha.com/blog/posts.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-31876941101223562482011-06-24T06:27:00.824+05:302011-06-24T06:27:00.824+05:30@Hema - For all the IT noise, Karnataka isn't ...@Hema - For all the IT noise, Karnataka isn't all that big, as there is almost nothing else.
