The survey also indicates that people worldwide view Barack Obama more favorably than John McCain “to do the right thing regarding world affairs”. Among other topics, people in India (China and Australia) were least worried about the worldwide economic slowdown. While that is not surprising, considering the double digits growth India has been experiencing on a annual basis, is it prudent on the part of Indians to be so indifferent to a worldwide economic crisis, considering India has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the global economy?
