India is Number One

...so says Yasmin Ahmad, director of Sepet.

Read her blog post on Jan 21, titled "HOPE. Is it in the hands of China's industrialists, America's foreign policy-makers, or India's village women?"

She describes her encounter with two Chinese businessmen while filming her documentary in India, and uses that to discuss social values. I found it quite insightful, and since the wisdom comes from an artist, not an economist, its more emotional.
