After being on this site for a year, I have come to following conclusions about TB: I sincerely hope I am wrong. Please prove me wrong.
In this post I am only focussing on Socioeconomic condition, this is not about religion or philosophy.
1. TB are generally very negative about TN, India, and Indians in general.
2. They whine but do nothing to improve the situation, or their outlook.
3. They wring their hand and post anonymously on the internet sites.
4. They expect "God" to do all things, and hand then the prasad (that they desire).
5. They expect that government will be super efficient, and corruption-less.
6. They want to live in past (the golden days), and despise all changes talking place around them.
Even after the so called "rationalist" left the site, except for odd postings (including mine) I have not seen any post that celebrates achievements of Indians, or India. Even when paying compliment the back handed way, they take it back by branding it in Casteist mold.
Unfortunately in the world of modern internet, the world has shrunk. People read the posting world over and form their opinion. We as People of Indian origin get to meet a lot of people from other countries. So we get to hear opinions from foreigners, who might visit India, or do business with Indians.
Every time I visit India, I am amazed at the progress India has made, the attitude change of the younger Indians. The self confidence and exuberance of the Indian youth is contagious. I am not oblivious to the failings and corruption that affect AAM ADMI. May be I move only in that circle, I travel all over India and meet folks in all regions.
I know I am going to be misquoted and misinterpreted, but I wanted a healthy discussion and some positive suggestions to change this image.
I came across this article by Mr. Bill Gates in India's Progress.

If you’re wondering whether development aid programs really do any good, or if you doubt that government spending on things like health can really make a difference, then you should go to India, as I did again just recently.
India’s progress over the past 20 years has been quite phenomenal. It deserves recognition especially now, as rich countries consider whether to continue investing in global development assistance despite all the economic problems they face at home.
India still faces many challenges. More than 400 million Indians live in extreme poverty. The country is home to half of all the world’s malnourished and underweight children and one fourth of the world’s tuberculosis.
But over the past 20 years, India has really emerged as a dynamic, influential country. It’s been one of the world’s fastest growing major economies, and it’s playing an increasingly important role in world affairs, including as a member of the G20 and the BRICS group of newly industrialized nations.
The current situation in India is quite hopeful. The country has a lot of talented people. The universities are improving. Government spending is going up because of the nation’s economic strength. Some reforms are needed, and that’s progressing, gradually. India represents all the challenges you face when you have lots of people living in poverty. And so India can contribute to how we solve problems globally.
A lot of progress has come from the nation’s culture of innovation, which has produced some really original and creative solutions. Yet, aid also has played an important role. Our foundation has invested more than $1 billion USD in programs to fight disease and poverty in India. I’m pleased with the results, and we will invest more in the future.
During my recent visit, I had a chance to see the latest progress on things that matter a lot to us: on eradicating polio and curtailing the spread of infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, for example. And I saw how India is emerging as a model and increasingly a catalyst for improvement in other developing countries. For example, India has become a world leader in the development of high-quality, low-cost vaccines and other bio-pharmaceuticals, which are playing a huge role in improving health not only in south Asia but also in Africa and elsewhere.
