ahahah....funny one.
To be fair though, its not just India alone in the region that's like that. From my experience visiting South Asian countries and East Asian countries, and also interacted/worked with both , i can say that South Asian countries have a very different culture, character, behaviour and attitude compared to their East Asian counterparts. East Asian Confucian societies are more focus on discipline, organisation, hard work ethic, focus on the collective and practical result oriented than South Asia societies are more diverse, less organised and less practical work oriented, they also more individual oriented than collective, more talk and show off as well. I m not sure if the weather(tropical climate for the most part) also plays a part in this.
In short there are factors that makes South Asia progress lags behind every region in the world. Despite the regions fairly rapid growth and progress this past decades, this progress still doesn’t mask the fact that South Asia is home to the largest concentration of people living in debilitating poverty and social deprivation on planet Earth(YES MORE THAN EVEN SUBSAHARAN AFRICA). This in itself should make them wake up to this reality and start focusing on economic growth and programs to uplift their poor, improve their living standards, provide better education to the masses etc. There should be a national focus on this and their priority should be on eradicating or reducing poverty to the minimum instead of focusing on other countries issues/having delusion of grandeur and fighting over silly things. What surprised me for example was that during my stay in India and China, i noticed that the government/media in China talks/focuses more about discussing policies to reduce poverty in the country than even in India which i found surprising. In fact this applies to other Asian countries i visited as well like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Can't talk about Pakistan as i have not been there, however i guess it's should be the same.
