The complete A-list of the Indian Blogosphere

Gyaan Sutra has painstakingly created a complete A-list of the Indian Blogosphere. It is rather useful, because I was unable to find any other place which gives a nice list of the top Indian blogs. Alexa does provide a list of top websites visited by people in India, but that is not the same (but did you know that Orkut is #2?).

Here’s the top 10:

01. 006,998 Digital Inspiration
02. 007,732 IndianPad
03. 013,154 Quick Online Tips
04. 030,529 Tech Buzz
05. 036,136 Content Sutra
06. 045,388 Tech Whack
07. 051,848 AlooTechie
08. 051,900 Sepia Mutiny
09. 057,602 Kamat
10. 075,448 Anil Dash

And he goes up to 80.  See the full list – it’s quite interesting.

The Indian Economy Blog » A Brand New Model?

The Indian Economy Blog is reporting on very interesting observation:

not once in world history has a large-sized country gone into rapid industrialization mode, while also guaranteeing universal franchise or a vote for all of its citizens. When you think about it, this claim is probably true. Forget China, think about the U.S., Soviet Union, the U.K., France, Germany etc. Not one of those countries actually industrialized while everyone had the vote.

To me, this appears more to be coincidence than anything else. But there’s no denying the fact that India is one of the largest, growing economy in the developing world that has a working democracy.
