Though his Berkshire Hathway still owns Omaha-based Sun Newspapers and the Buffalo News, the world’s top money manager views the future of the newspaper industry dismally, says the journal. ‘For most newspapers in the United States, we would not buy them at any price,” the world’s second richest man was quoted as saying. ‘They (newspapers) have the possibility of going to just unending losses,” said Buffet, who has long considered himself to be a newspaper man.

As long as newspapers were essential to readers, the journal quoted him as saying, they were essential to advertisers. But now news is available in many other venues.Referring to the Washington Post Company in which Berkshire has a significant investment, Buffet said ‘the company has a solid cable business, a good reason to hold on to it, but its newspaper business is in trouble,” according to the journal.

If I were Stephen Harper and going on my first visit to India – landing in Mumbai Sunday to meet business leaders, then New Delhi to confer with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and others – I’d do the following:

Ignore the Canadian media’s portrayal of India as orientalist exotica and the epicentre of some of the world’s worst problems.

India is also an economic and geopolitical giant, in some respects more important than China. Besides democracy and English, it boasts a population that’s much younger than China’s.

Its $1 trillion economy equals Canada’s, and is growing at 6.7 per cent this year, compared with the stagnant economies of the West. India is spending as much

Prior to his appointment as Under Secretary, Dr. Shah worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in a variety of roles, including Director of Agricultural Development, which over saw the foundation’s multi-billion dollar
portfolio for grant and program related investments which looked to transform small scale farming around the world and over come hunger and poverty. He also managed the Foundation’s $1.5 billion commitment to the Vaccine Fund, an effort that Bill and Melinda Gates called ‘their best investment’.

Anand Sharma, India’s Minister for Commerce and Industry, has been briefed about issues affecting the Indian Diaspora arising from the recent 20th annual conference in New York by Lord Diljit Rana, recently elected GOPIO President.

Lord Rana met Mr Sharma in London recently for talks during the minister’s visit to the UK. Among the issues discussed were the contribution NRIs/PIOs currently make to the Indian economy and the opportunities that exist for the Indian government to develop this important and longstanding relationship. Lord Rana, a leading UK hotelier and property developer, told the minister that GOPIO was keen to strengthen further its relationship with the Indian government particularly in areas such as economic development and educational provision. “Indiancommunities throughout the world would welcome closer interaction with the government in Delhi in areas such as human rights and property rights,” Lord Rana said.

My first Saturday job was working at my father’s steel mill in Calcutta. Actually, it wasn’t only a Saturday job. I was working there every day while also studying for my degree at St Xavier’s College in economics and finance.

University classes started at 6am and lasted until 10am. Then I would go and do a full day’s work at the office.I started off in the postroom. Myfather, who has always been my mentor,quite rightly insisted I start at the bottom and it was only as I showed my value that I was given more responsibility.I learnt at relatively young age that I had a genuine passion for the steel industry and that I would have to work hard to make progress. I still feel like that today.

Until quite recently, the world’s fastestgrowing big economies both felt themselves largely immune from the contagion afflicting the rich world. Optimists even hoped that these huge emerging markets might provide the engines that could pull the world out of recession.

Now some fear the reverse: that the global downturn is going to drag China and India down with it, bringing massive unemployment to two countries that are, for all their success, still poor-India is home to some two-fifths of the world’s malnourished children.

The pessimism may be overdone. These are still the most dynamic parts of the world economy. But both countries face daunting economic and political difficulties. In India’s case, its newly positive self-image has suffered a double blow: from the economic buffeting, and from the bullets of the terrorists
who attacked Mumbai last month. As our special report makes clear.

India’s recent self-confidence had two roots. One was a sustained spurt in economic growth to a five-year annual average of 8.8%. The other was the concomitant rise in India’s global stature and influence. No longer, its
politicians gloated, was India “hyphenated” with Pakistan as one half of a potential nuclear maelstrom. Rather it had become part of “Chindia”-a fast-growing success story.

The Mumbai attacks, blamed on terrorist groups based in Pakistan and bringing calls for punitive military action, have revived fears of regional conflict. A hyphen has reappeared over India’s western border, just as the scale of the economic setback hitting India is becoming apparent. Exports in October fell by 12% compared with the same month last year; hundreds of small textile firms have gone out of business; even some of the stars of Indian manufacturing of recent years, in the automotive industry, have suspended production.

The central bank has revised its estimate of economic growth this year downwards, to 7.5-8%, which is still optimistic. Next year the rate may well fall to 5.5% or less, the lowest since 2002.
