the elephant paradigm
india is not a tiger, and change will always be slower than in east asia. india is an elephant which has stirred from its slumber and has finally begun to move ahead with a degree of determination. however, unlike a sprinting tiger that runs out of steam, the elephant has stamina.

I had come across this - not in elephant paradigm.. but in India Unbound. In that, Gurcharan Das says (I clearly remember)... "For years, The Economist tried to paint stripes on India, but India is not a tiger, she's an elephant", or something to that effect.. I loved that! :)
that's disappointing though... does he always use the same lines? in all of his books? i think i may not read india unbound then. hmph!
