You know the world is developing very fast.
A slow solution is no solution..
Even you have a good PM and good team, the India society is pretty slow to change..
If China is running fast ahead, it doesn`t matter India is moving slowly or very slowly..
Can you please elaborate a little on what these issues are? and once you have quantified them, how and why they are unsolvable?
Its not that we bank on Modi blindly. We just trust his capacity to identify achievers, prioritise and put in place an effective team, mechanisms, broad direction to foreign policy framework. The first 6 months have already been set as an example. As for money, it comes and goes.. boundaries stay as they are whether you want them or not.
India otoh has already started engaging with Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines. Two can play the game. If you think you can fight everybody and then aspire to be a world power, you are simply deceiving yourself. One war even with Japan or Vietnam will set you back many years.
When China is showing great economy power and military power to India`s neighbors, what can India show???
Still struggling with its internal economy probably..
But noone of this going to restrain us from taking a strong stand against the adventures of PRC.We will stand with SCS friends like Vietnam.
America has only 300 M people, yet it is still stronger than any other countries in the world.
I agree the average age of Chinese is older than India.
Yet all Chinese can read, write, work with rich experience.
India`s young but unemployed, uneducated young generation will only cause more problem.
40 years? I will be close to death after 40 years..
sir don't over emphasize your achievements and you mention overpopulation and economic problems of India while you oppress your people ( one child policy ) in a few decades large proportion of your country is old and plz don't bother about India we are going to cross 2 trillion$ economy in 2015 and strong enough to be bullied by china.
India 'will become world's biggest economy in less than 40 years' - Telegraph
You know there are so many fans of Modi here..
I would say it is human nature that people want a strong leader to solve their problem
Yet problem with India society is too much that I think Modi may not be able to solve it.
Just prepare these India friends not to be disappointed when they see no improvement of Modi..
One-child policy is the only selection to reduce the population, or Chinese population may have reached 1.7 billion.
India is still in a population-bombing state, and if this continues, the result may be bitter for India.
China is starting 2-child policy for those parent who have no brother and sister.
In fact, I guess India has already beaten China in population since many low-caste people are not registered.
2-trillon-dollar economy is not a matter since India has a huge population. China is going to have a over 10-trillion dollar economy, but so what? China's average GDP is still not very high, so we still have to develop our economy, and so for India.
In less than 40 years India will be the biggest in the world.....There're strict premises: No economical crisis, no war, no caste-system......Maybe 20 years later the world may end in nuclear war, and who knows?
You mustn't have read the masterpiece "Ah-Q's story", so I don't mind to tell you about it. In this story, once Ah-Q was beaten by stronger men he would use the method called "spiritual victory". In fact, Ah-Q is exactly what VN looks like, which used challenge China and get slapped for several times. Remember the saying "No Zuo No Die", if you keep playing with fire, then one day you have to swallow the bitterness created with your own hands. Even your American God cannot save you.
If India's the true friend of VN, then you should send your fleet to SCS when your friend is bullied. Spoken support is nothing meaningful. PLAN's waiting for your visit.
Never mention Modi when faced with Indians, or you may have to face meaningless quarrels.
I don`t mean to be offensive
But in coming 30 years only in dreams that India can catch up with China..
Take comparison between two countries before making conclusion...
In 30 years we will be at least at per with China, and might even be ahead of China, considering that China is at the brink of a massive hard landing.
