As an American, I spent 2 years in India after college working for a large Indian conglomerate. It was 2008-2010, those heady years when the BRICs were ascendant and the future was theirs for the taking. I was incredibly excited for India's future. After the 2009 elections delivered a clear (by India standards) mandate for UPA and a rebuke to the Left parties I thought great things would come. Perhaps I got too emotionally invested in India but the following years were hugely disappointing for me. living and working in India was still one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've ever done in my life. It pains me to see India's, government fail its people so comprehensively.
