Yes, and neither was any China until 1911. Just like India, China is also an amalgamation of various territories, nation states. So what is the big deal. the Brits ruled in India, while they didn't even needed to rule China mainland, they just had to remotely control and impose their will over China back then. Even the Jap's had taken you guy's for a ride. If not for the Americans, you would still have been a colony of Imperial Japan, nothing else. So before you do mud-sling others, do introspect about your own rich (slave) history.

Oh, taking into account the level of social development in India. Maybe many history you do not know, after all, 400 million illiterate.

Now tell you a secret, in the Korean War, China has won over your Western masters (including Americans, British). Occupation of Seoul.

Of course, the British are still the masters of India until now. Oh, sorry, you have some new masters - Japanese, Americans, Israelis, Koreans, French.... They are all your masters.

 

[nahtanbob]

Mention the country and what the world thinks ....



India

Pakistan

India has this image of snake charmers, rat worshippers, maharajahs, poverty, curry food and tropical climates.
The Outsourcing boom changed the view of Indians if not India.

pakistan's image is a function of 9/11 and recent politics. If there are not major terror attacks like 9/11 things will get better in a decade or so

Hey Chinese cheerleader, is this how China won Korean war ??? LOL

FYI, Seoul is the capital of South Korea, not Communist North and look who is talking about literacy ??? LOL

Thanks for appreciating my post. It takes a true, 'Aryan' connoisseur to do that.

You are not an aryan. You are a larper. I am 100% sure have a bit of semitic genes.

Must have to be an aryan:
1)Blonde hair or light Brown also ok.
2)Blue eyes.
3)100% Nordic or Germanic ancestry.

Atleast two of the above conditions must be fulfilled to even claim aryan roots

Yes, China entered Korea in 1951 and occupied the capital of S.Korea, Seoul. Your western master is evacuated to the south. Please note that. China's enemies are all your masters (Americans, Britain, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece, Turkey, Colombia, Thailand, Philippines, South Africa, Ethiopia)

What's the problem? Ask Macarthur why he was dismissed.

So what do you want to say? LOL. Indians don't know anything.

Tell you a secret again. the seat of the UN Security Council has nothing to do with India.

Every time Indians say, Nehru gives the position of the UN Security Council to China. I find it interesting. What does India 400 million illiterate know?

 

[艹艹艹]

Why is India so far behind China? This ranking is biased.

U R RIGHT

Here are some examples of "ugly eyesore" Indian architecture

I would like to see any Pakistani member show me any architecture in modern-day Pakistan that comes close to the any of the pictures I have posted, all of which are indigenous Indian Hindu architecture mostly completed before 800 ce. I wouldn't hold my breath though, because we all know the answer is zilch, zero(another one of the many great things given to the Earth my modern-day India). The truth is modern Pakistan has no great works of indigenous architecture, no great mathematicians or scientists, and no great pre-Mughal history. The only thing they have is the IVC, and guess what, India has IVC sites as well, some of which are bigger and older than those in Pakistan. The reason why Pakistanis love the Mughals so much is they gave their nation a modern identity, culture, and history, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is funny to see how India's indigenous culture and history far surpassing theirs gives them such an inferiority complex. This is reflected in the number of world heritage sites. India ranks sixth in the world in terms of world heritage sites, many of them being indigenous Indian Hindu architecture and history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Heritage_sites_in_India
Keep in mind there are many sites dating thousands of years old that are not on the list.
As for Pakistan? Fewer than my fingers.
All those rants about how bad Indian food and clothing are and the ugliness of Indian people is just more hilariously insecure drivel. Obviously, the rest of the world has spoken, and they find our food, clothing, culture, history, and civilization superior to Pakistan's.

And even if terrorism is eliminated from Pakistan, it will never have as much tourism as India. The reason for that is there is nothing you can find in Pakistan that cannot be found in India. International tourists are not stupid. Where would they rather go, the center of all South Asian civilizations that is the culminations of three rich, unique, regions? Or the regions hinterlands, that for most of history have been decentralized and ruled by foreigners, never forming a powerful indigenous Empire, and lacking the rich historical contributions to everything from religion and philosophy to math, science, and literature as their neighbors to the east? The choice is clear to any impartial customer. Terrorism only seals the deal.

Anglo-Saxon colonists in general never could handle how their erstwhile resource mine has so much to offer to the world. So they continue to perpetrate the stupid rumours.

However, they are not entirely wrong in some things.

There is a flip side as well:

Indians have had the habit of living upto those stereotypes.

We never marketed our developments and neither did we strive too hard to achieve them.

99% of the government in India is only about securing power through political deceit and never for development.

BTW:
- Curry is one of the ingredients that goes into many Indian dishes. And it tastes far better than many carcass-based dishes of colonising countries. Before visiting this part of the world and realising spices and dishes, we all know what they ate.

- We have 8 different types of terrains: Tropical rainforests, sandy coastal plains, atolls and coral reefs, salt-flats, deserts, snowy mountains, green plains, rocky plateaus and rolling hills.

We can't help it if some idiots cannot digest that they are no longer relevant.

There are many countries with whom we have an excellent rapport and we will proceed with them.

The only main problem Indians have is a lack of self-belief and a lot of collective ego, that is what makes them vulnerable.

Nothing else.

What China has is immense self-belief (not ego). They don't care what Europeans or Africans or Indians think of them. They have a target and they achieve it with sheer determination and hard work.

That's why they are successful.

Don't let it get you too upset here. Focus on interacting with the 99% of the world that are not jealous "pure-land" types. That 99% is where the real knowledge and benefit lies for India....they come to India in increasing numbers so it makes pure-landers go a bit nutty (since they get a tiny trickle of both feet and general interest and exposure in civ/history talk) because facts on the ground do that inevitably.

good point. I should really try to be less reactive
