It's perfectly natural for a country to experience periods of growth and decline. Demographic and economic cycles rise and fall over time, and a period of contraction does not mean growth won't return in the future.

What isn't reversible is losing a country's identity. As a foreigner, I'd rather see Japan remain Japan than become a messy cultural mix, like Europe.

Not true. Unless you learn Sanskrit, you cannot understand that the language can communicate multi[le dimensions of meanings. Ofcourse, it is not needed rudimentary things like physics, chemistry etc.

Ofcourse, Sanskrit can be used like English too. That is like using a super computer as a calculator.

As a citizen, if I get laid off, I get a severance package and support from the state. It is ok if I get laid off. Temporary inconvenience, but family doesn't need to suffer. It is not the case for H1B visa holders.

If H1B visa holder gets laid off, they need to find a job in 60 days. That is a lot of stress. Suppose they find a in different state, they need to move. This is stress for the family and children as well. In the worst case, they may need to leave the country. It is harder, because they need to sell all their properties, move the stuff and relocate the family in an extremely short period of time. I think the H1B rules are draconian.

IMHO, H1B must be reformed or abolished. In the current form, it only benefits big companies to hire great talent for cheap and keep under their control. Similar to bonded labour.

Not really sure what "medidation" means. But the word "Dyan" is clearly defined. There are many types of "Dyans". But, all theory is useless without a Guru.

No amount of googling will not find a Guru. It is your intense desire to find a "Guru" will attract you towards the "Guru".

please license brew/tea to enterprises. Most of them are willing to pay for license, if the developers ask for it. It can be opensource, but add some licensable features that company will pay for.

If all employees share their salary information with each other, it becomes a headache for the employer. Each employee may quote the other person's salary demanding a raise.

This is the reason behind the "keep your data confidential" idea.

Indian Railways was started by the colonial British for just two purposes.

1. To Return multiple times returns for British investors on the expense of Indian colonies. 2. To move supply of Raw material to the ports and manufactured goods from England to the natives.

The British left India. But the Indian Railways is still in India.

This organization was not built to serve the people of the land. The Indians have improved it, despite being ruled by socialist governments for 70 years after independence.

Couldn't agree more. The modern buildings are boring, dumb, tasteless and just plain ugly. Not only that, they look very outdated in 10 years. 20 years down the line, the sight of these buildings are just unbearable.
