india's amazing bull (dung) run: moooo

It never fails to amaze how the Indian English media -- aye, everyone, bar none -- never fail to enlighten us about the good run (bull run? iz dat a smart header?) of the Indian economy/economics/eco-now-don't-mix-politix. Sensex ride or crash? See ya on front page tomorrow. Laxmi Mittal's hopefully-seen-last-episode Dallas-esque saga? Lead, buddy lead; don't you try to kid.

It takes a bit, thus, to tell yourself that you are among the few fattened/fattening/already-fat cows (just you wait till you see the Subject's weight).
Here, Pankaj Mishra takes the bull 9and its ride) by the horns, in The NYT (good god, how could our half-stoned, forever closer to NY and moon op-ed walas fail to spot that 'un? or did poor, sloppy me fail to spot it?):
India? Mittal made his first investment here barely last year.
India? 127th on the UN Human Development index; and all the blah, blah, and more blah...
