Thailand Gets Real With India: Opinion

[MaxLee]

"Dear people of India, do you want to buy our rice????"

The lifting of the rice export ban by India upset Thaksins scheme to take over the world rice trade market, he will need them on side if he is ever to rescue any money from that debacle.

He can't, and the Indian import-Export regulators won't think about it...

Yes, but the bottom line is, that India has accomplished so much more than Thailand. How many Thais have won a noble peace prize, a Pulitzer, and Peabody, a gold medal, an Oscar, a golden globe award, or any other award that measures exceptional intelligence and talent? Indians win them nearly every other day! India is a nation of tremendous intelligence, creativity, culture, education, literary genius, scientific genius, etc, etc, etc. so, for Thais to even suggest the playing field is not level, and that Indians are in any way, shape or form not equal to them, is not only denying reality, but in fact, may be just the opposite of reality? So let's get real. Is there any chance skin color is a factor here?

Indian basmati rice is much demanded all over the world, however there are no drawback incentives on exports because the export policy is always mapped with countries scarcity and surplus on that particular commodity within the country. rice production has never been surplus in india.
