A shaky, trembling dragon

[Vinod2070]

Well, it is a fact that at present India is about 8-10 years behind on most indicators. Whether this trend continues or not is a question that the future will answer. Debating here doesn't mean anything.

We don't have to replicate what China has done. We can and will find the way that works for us in our circumstances.

But there is no reason the success can't be replicated. We grew at 6% for 15 years and more after 1991 (that was considered impossible earlier in India).

Now our trend rate has increased to ~8% for the last 5-6 years. It can go up to double digits once we take care of the infrastructure. That is happening now with big investments pouring in. It may not be at the scale in China but it doesn't have to be.

The original article was just one of many that the so called "think tanks" churn out. I am not sure why people need to sweat so much on it. Its just like the thesis people write when they complete some research project. More than 90% is junk that no one reads after the thesis is done.

Its funny because its incorrect. It refers to the broken English I see here all the time.

The bolded part refers to the mindsets I see here.

i m not here to satisfy others,if we have started n we r wrong then convince the west who are ready for every million dollar deal in even nukes field

the only difference is that we have started with bang where as u did this after development,its ur fault not our

lol, west needs some scape goat to ease their internal financial burdens` india fits the category, and the 'bang' was created by ur hype medias nothing more. and the west needs to find a clown to contain china as it grows ever strong. unfortunately they picked india, and the sad point is that india is so flattered by that `

 

[Agnostic_Indian]

the reason india flaunt the growth and china down play is, india is too exited about the growth and we have not reached the level to become (or to see as become ) a threat to anybody.
china is down playing it's growth not because it is humble but to not to be seen as a threat to the current superpowers.once they reach the level they will also flaunt it.

Its funny because its incorrect. If I correct it won't be as funny.

whose mindset??
thread of china with discussion of india
WOW!!!!!
its our right to reply.
u ppl get fully trolled when indian starts the thread related to china,u ppl start to discuss india at every thread.

difference is in ur eyes,u ppl see every step of west with india against china ,there is bird named as development which could be of any type.

The US requires none to contain China.

It is also kept China on tenterhooks and China, as it appears, to use a colloquialism, is turning out be be the Joker of the pack, as the US deals each new hand.

Not quite true.

When is India predicted to reach 6 trillion GDP... i.e. the size of China's economy in 2010?

I am saying that we were in 2009 where China was in 2001. A difference of 8 years there.

World Bank, World Development Indicators - Google public data

The future is uncertain. We may be $6 trillion anywhere between 2020-25. Will depend on how we improve our infrastructure and remove some other constraints.

It would be foolish to assume that India can't do it. Same way it would be foolish to assume that it's a given.

Many a slip between the cup and the tea.

Yes, it would be wrong to underestimate a strategic rival.

Fair enough.

 

[indianpatriot]

well in 1949 India is way ahead China in terms of GDP and industrial level. and as usual an indian puts some rather bizzar 'facts' to suit their stupid argument`the airport??

but i do agree the phrase : A mosquito may fly at great heights but can never be taller than man

because, no matter how loud the so called 'shining india' is barking they will never be as big as china, india as a country put together by the Brits this is fact !

well whatever good as happened with your country is 90% your government and 10% people because people who cannot gather courage to raise voice against Communism can never do things on their own.While in India its 90% people..the common man and 10% government.Infrastructure is something that can be build in few years but trust,courage,pride and ambition requires generations of mind nurturing.I am not saying that we are very high spirited but still higher than you guys who are living in a make believe world with a very deep sadness for freedom inside.

Well we are mature enough to bring back the flamed thread so we should co-operate rather than fighting.

 

[Vinod2070]

Yes, rivals but I am sure there will be lot of Chinese co-operation on our journey.

China is already our biggest trade partner. Lots of our infrastructure is being built by Chinese companies. Some Indian companies are also trying to scale up in China.

It will be a rivalry but has a good chance of not becoming hostility. If both our leaders maintain sanity, that is.

There is much to gain from co-operation, nothing from hostility.

I hope that is true...

This article is a sign of deep humiliation and inferiority complex. A wish for China to disintegrate into what India was: a collection of feudal monarchies pasted together by the British.
