India-China parallel rise in contemporary era is ‘unique happening in human history’: S Jaishankar

[GiantPanda]

This is Chinese freedom. The freedom to travel and to spend all over the world.

What makes Indian freedom of "opinion" mean anything when Indians have little idea of the outside world? It is just an echo chamber of ignorant and globally-illiterate ideas rebounding inside India.

Chinese go everywhere to experience, learn and buy. They travel and trade in numbers Indians cannot imagine. They know the globe who is why it is the world's largest trading nation.

Some portion of united India must exist otherwise the world would be depraved of such a great genuine non stop comedy .
Even though India is heading towards disintegration some portion of it must be preserved as a world heritage and history.

That was exactly the logic why we allowed you to continue to exist post 1971. And 65. And 1999. What would Batman do without the Joker?

apni sunao na, ek musalman hone ke karan aap ke saath kabhi hindutvawadion ne kabhi nainsaafi kari ?

No, I wasn't the victim of hate by Hindutvadis. Probably because I live in the Deccan.

To be honest, the only probable anti-Muslim discrimination I faced was rejection by the air force when I applied when I was 17 or so. Technically something about my date of birth "submitted wrong". Otherwise no discrimination. Of course I am no longer interested in soldiery.

But that doesn't mean I shouldn't speak of discrimination of others.

It's not just crimes of passion either, failing an exam

Why should failing an exam be the reason for suicide ? Of course the suicider should not have lost heart and should have struck out independently and maybe tried to establish a business but generally about student suicides other than the parents being responsible the "education" system is also responsible and so is the country's socio-economic setup. Too much competition. Unnecessary competition in the wrong places. Too much focus on jobs for which a student must bring "good exam marks". Even, ridiculously, colleges take in students based on the students' "good marks" in previous grades.

I am a 12th grade dropout yet that never stopped me from being a teacher in computing and currently am designing a computer microprocessor and operating system ( the only truly indigenous such projects in India ). But it would have been quite helpful if Modi gave me the 15 lakhs he promised during the 2014 election.

but aap hamesha wohi do teen ghisi piti purani baatein baar baar dauratey rehte ho, Rohith Vemula, Green book, some thread you made bc 7 years ago

Ghisi piti ? Am I am a khap panchayat member or some "religious" leader or some out-of-touch tau to insist on wrong or obsolete things ?

The three things you say that I keep mentioning, those are relevant still. Didn't Elon Musk speak of Direct Democracy being the ideal political system for near-future Mars settlements ?

Thing is, space exploration isn't exactly an easy thing to do. Takes money, research, technology.. there's a lot of factors that go into space exploration. Who knows, maybe if every single scientist from every field and all of big industry put every single penny into space exploration and if every single politician had but that one solitary goal, maybe we would have a Mars base by now.

In India, basic amenities like home, healthcare, food and education are not free mostly. On PDF pages I see ads by Ketto organization appealing for 15 lakhs or 18 lakhs or more, towards treatment of someone's blood cancer or other ailments. So the successive Indian governments by not investing towards Mars settlement what have they invested money and other resources in ? Surely not towards the basic amenities I mentioned.

The last Moon landing was in 1972. Almost 50 years ago. Rakesh Sharma went to stay in a USSR space station in 1984. 37 years ago. Instead of doing such things what ISRO has been doing is focusing only on launching satellites, with the human program in the low-prioritized background.

Two big Indian company - Godrej & Boyce and MTAR Technologies - have been together building a liquid rocket engine for ISRO for quite a while, yet neither of the two companies bring up the ambition of independently a launch rocket by themselves.

But I hope those three new private Indian launch service groups ( Bellatrix, Agnikul and Skyroot ) have the ambition for a manned Mars transport and settlement program for the 2030s.

Lol. So sweet of you to follow my posts so closely and do a psycho analysis. Haha. But reality bites no? Tsk Tsk.

China has already risen and surpassed the US while India is trying crawl and catch up with Bangladesh.
