Even those of us with international experience sometimes need to do a double take when we have to deal with statistics that relate to China and India. My friend Daniyal Aziz , Chairman of the National Reconstruction Bureau of Pakistan, asked Mani Shankar Aiyar, the Minister of Panchayati Raj and Youth Affairs in India about Capacity building and communication in India.
“Its not easy communicating with our 3.2 Million councillors," came the reply, " particularly when they speak 26 different languages. We are not like the Chinese who can send out 8 million notices a week to their politicians. Even though they can’t understand each other’s language in China, at least they can all read the same script.”
