He says sustainable development is nonsense.
He says environmentalists are enemies of the poor.

And spread the word.
Chandra also provided us with the details of an interview with a leading light of our The State’s miseducational system, Professor Yash Pal, where he says:
There is no wisdom to be got from outside the country. Whatever is there, is on the net.
Professor Yash Pal opposes foreign universities setting up shop in India. He began his career teaching Physics.
In my opinion, we Indians should wake up to the fact that we are a “backward nation”: that is, if there was a caste system among nations, we would be a backward caste.
The rest of the world is marching ahead; our nation is marching backwards.
The USSR has been gone 20 years, the Berlin Wall has long become rubble.
In India we still have central economic planning, a State that also makes steel, and all that shit.
Our cities are hell holes; every town is a living nightmare; while the administration is generating employment and developing village India.
Even Malaysia is a better place to live. Leave aside Singapore, which received independence in 1965, shortly after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru.
See how nations are on the march?
And then look around at the mess that is India, whose educrats believe “there is no wisdom to be got from outside the country.”
This is the attitude of an ostrich affected with “fatal conceit.”
We can contrast this with Japan of the Meiji period, the 1860s, when they began an earnest catch-up with the technologically far superior west. The Imperial court took on western attire. And hundreds of scholars were sent to the west to learn. Thus, Adam Smith’s library is housed in the University of Tokyo.
I am afraid we as a nation must look upon The State’s educational “degrees” in much the same way that we look upon their other “papers” – the currency note, and the ballot paper.
Worthless.
