How flat is the World
World is flat by Thomas Friedman
Truely a very fabulous book and great entertainer nonetheless.
Coming to the unflat world where the poor are trying to forge into the Midddle Class he is is very apt but one need to wait and watch and see if they can really make it. One of the most important things that are pulling them down is that there is a lot of distraction that one finds in the local environment that one finds. This is one of the most important things that is to be bridged. Distraction and lack of focus and diversions in India and developing countries is something that each one of us need to work on. So this distraction is also affecting peace of mind of all the underpriviledged people. Also a lot of comparison between people the welathy and poor does not in any way help it.
I happened to see Mohandas Pai CFO infosys make one very important point, it was regarding the legal system in India. In the USA there 70+ judges per Million of people and in India there are 3 judges per million. So the country's legal system must ramp up completely if there is any justice or any momentum or any motivation for the people of the country. He was mentioning of the harshad Mehta case, u cant have a country where a case drags on for such a long time.What will happened to the rest of the millions of people who are suffering at the hands of the criminals.
Freidman is quick and fast in his anaylsis and yes he has a lot stories for us in his book.Well he has picked the humiliation part to the humna side very well and its effects the other world is very well portrayed, in showcasing the unflat world. His research is really fabulous on the stats of the IPs being filed by each country and company.
The digital divide is really shaking the world and one needs to catch on to this bus and all need to take this ride and the governments of each country needs only to be an enabler rather than being a hurdle.
His real life stories are impeccable and drive home the point very well. His portrayal about America being the country of hope and optimism need not get cocooned in its shell is very important to the world.
