    What he saw is India mad maxing its way through hard times, characterized by manual labor and muscle power rather than energy-intensive machinery.

    But hasn’t this always been India? I remember reading about an Indian salvage yard cutting up a huge ship with manual labor 30 years ago. People were plentiful and fuel was scarce. So they used the cheap impoverished labor.

    The west doesn’t have India’s billions of poor willing to do dangerous work by hand for starvation wages.

    After reading the article, all I really have is a low opinion of his writing skills. He rambles on forever and says little of value. He really needs to learn to get to the point. It reads like one of those recipe pages that won’t tell you the recipe until you read their life story.
