Likewise, cows don't kill.
So getting back to the topic, if you do not mind telling what is your logic for selecting names that are regged in 2005 and 2006. I have gone through the thread and could not crasp it.
Right. Cows don't kill. Neither do 99.999% of the 70,000,000+ gun owners in the United States. We are a fundamentally different civilization.
I'm certainlly not suggesting that citizen gun ownership is the right model for a country like India. If you ever want to learn more about this, a highly suggested book is "To Keep and Bear Arms: Origins of an Anglo-American Right".
What works in one civilization might not work in another. India still has some
'backwardness issues' to iron out but thankfully, are making great strides in this regard.
Anyway, as far as my interest in names from 2005 and 2006, the reason I use that is its very, very simple criteria to understand, since I'd guess that less than 5% of domainers, Indian or otherwise, even begin to understand keyword quality. The types of names I'm interested in buying were almost entirely registered during landrush- or shortly thereafter- and have mostly been renewed since that time.
An average income guy in a metro city in india who lives in a joint family has 3-4 earning members in the family and if he lives in his own house, he individually is richer than your average US guy. If he owns a business, he is richer than your rich US guy and if he owns an office at nariman point, he is filty rich and can have the best of the facilities delivered at his doorstep and has people from developed countries hungry to get buziness from him.
Pretty sure your conclusions are way, way off here.
As Ace pointed out- we have 1/4 the population and our GDP is 4.5X higher. Also, wealth stratification is significantly worse in India.
I don't see how large-household income in a handful of tiny urban neighborhoods in India are comparable to your 'average US guy'. That isn't even comparing apples to oranges. It's comparing apples to aardvarks.
Lastly, Mumbais isn't the most expensive office market in the world. Londons West End, Hong Kongs Central Business District and Tokyos Inner-Central Business District are all more expensive on a psf basis- and Mumbai's position on 'the list' has fluctuated significantly. It went from 4th to 7th, back to 4th.
I do think a lot of Indians aren't being very objective when it comes to the poverty that exists in that country, the significantly lower wages, etc. For whatever reasons- ego, inferiority complex or whatever- there are some Indians who are sensitive about this and fast to mention Nariman Point while ignoring the fact that basically the rest of the country bears no parity with that tiny, tiny, tiny area (which I've seen first hand and, while nice, still isn't nearly as impressive as Manhattan, Paris or the like) .
Until those people become outnumbered by the objective ones- who acknowledge economic reality and propose solutions to fix it- Indias almost limitless potential will be hampered.
