Nirman, If you -- as a Nepali -- travel to India these days, to the major cities and hang out with 20 to 30-something Indian professionals in banking, media, general business, IT, the arts, the movies and social activism (to name a few fields), what takes you by surprise -- as it did to me -- is an amazingly high level of of self-confidence they display -- individually and collectively -- about themselves and India's growing importance in the world. India, the new India, has kept on revising its press laws to welcome more and more foreign investment from anyone who's interested.
