if want to have fun and some arguments, yes, talking to Indians has too many topics. But from country strategy level, will you tell me which area they are close other than population? once a while, China and India had similar GDP, now India is out of gas in economic race. similarly on defense budget, with barely $40B, Indians government deficit is in deep red, Rupee deflates, lost 20% value against dollar lately. Chinese spent well over $140B, some Americans suggested maybe $200B. LCA is not finish, J20 is in sky and 2nd stealthy is moving under the sun.
I tried hard to find what Indian can match, please help and let the topic continue.
