Was it anything like Ice Road Truckers? now that was a good programme

Yep, but the roads were scarier. Seriously. I actually found it quite shocking, as did the US truckers who took part, that while there were billions available for 'development' the Indian truck drivers were expected to risk their lives every day to make the electricity company bosses just a bit richer than they already are.

Yep. I watched that programme about US truckers driving in India, 'World's most dangerous roads' or something like that. Billions were being spent on a big shiny new hydroelectric power station but not one cent was spent on improving the roads that the truckers use to get building materials there. I think truckers are basically seen as 'expendable' by the Indian elites.

look at the buildings in the background, they are capable of great things.

They are also capable of gross inhumanity on their poor, most of which aren't educated.

Actually I don't think I ever suggested they aren't.

I know you were not, it was me who was suggesting that they weren't

Nokia Ltd

This is what happens when you use your Finnish Ltd company and work in India. The Locals want their tax. 1.5 Billion. They should have taken advice from us at Contractor UK and not their dodgy accountant. This is a hot topic in the UK right now. The mutinationals pay no tax and you guys have sleepless nights worring about IR35

Well, now you've had a go at Africans AND Indians, would you like to have a go at anyone else?

Latin Americans?
Eskimoes?
Arabs?

Actually I don't think I ever suggested they aren't, they had science centuries ahead of us 500 years ago. They have nuclear power that hasn't blown up in the first 10 years (unlike ours did) and a space program.

and everywhere there were people had something in common — dirty, messy and stank.

China’s toilet usage/habits have come a long way in the past ten years, so is there any reason that India, another ancient Eastern civilisation, can’t do the same?

Maybe only in the most disgusting of material surroundings, and the basest living conditions can we find the most profound spiritual enlightenment.

Hahahaha it appears that at least they are good at something then

But the commercial reality of their offerings for the user frequently makes them appear crap.

Just as if you put HAB on the game there isn't much chance of making customers happy.

India's most trusted brand Nokia hit with £1.5bn tax bill ? The Register

"Nokia will have to pay Rs 13,000 crore before March 31,” he said. Of that sum, Rs. 3,000 crore (£355.6m) is apparently for tax violations and Rs 10,000 crore (£1.2bn) is related to transfer pricing irregularities.

Transfer pricing – which refers to the trade between two related companies – is one of the hottest areas of international tax fraud, occurring typically when two subsidiaries or a parent and its subsidiary distort the price of traded goods to lower the overall tax bill.

India’s Income Tax department alleges in the report that Nokia hasn’t paid tax on certain software supplies and is trying to reorganise its business to circumvent direct and indirect tax liabilities, according to Economic Times.

The tax clampdown is part of a wider campaign by Indian officials focused on large multinationals in the region, with Vodafone and Google already on the receiving end of some large bills.

lets outsource our tax authorities!
