Where is India, we need it, Asean says

[twocents]

1. We rejected UNSC seat

How widely is this urban legend believed in India?

Actually we have no right to cry out when the world is looking upto China as the next world power, it were we who have lost many opportunity that came knocking our doors:

1. We rejected UNSC seat.
2. We rejected ASEAN membership.
3. We rejected the Humbantota port project when SL came first to us for same.
4. We gave Coco islands to Myanmar (earlier they were part of A&N) & now China has a listening post there.
5. We lost out to China in per capita income even when we were above them in PCI till 1960s.
6. We lost the race to African resources to China since we were late starters even when culturally & historically Africa has more closer ties to India than China.
7. We gave away only possible land connection b/w China & Pakistan in form of P0K.
8. When China was celebrating it's victory in hosting successful Olympics we were finding out as to who were corrupts in CWG scam.
9. We constantly ignored our Navy & it was the wake up call of China entering IOR that we noted the importance of the third arm of our armed forces.
10. It needs a 26/11 for us to stronger our defences when China do the same without any terrorist attacks serving as a remainder.

So why shout & complain when China is building a string of pearls or when the world is looking towards China as the next superpower, we have to blame ourselves only if India is not seen at par with China.

Being in this forum and reading the posts, I sense that many here believe India would be the next superpower. China still has a long way to go. But India is predicted to be a superpower by 2030 with lots of white servants.

Nope we are not getting there before 2050 at least,but slow and steady.Lazy but the elephant ultimately always gets there.

India is going nowhere and helping no one unless we fix our economy up at atleast 7% annual growth.

If we are achieving anything less than that, we are not even pulling our own weight, let alone being able to conjure up resources for others.

India has long way to, cooperating with ASEAN countries will help to some extend.
Few days ago I was checking IMF estimates of GDP per capita status, 2010-2017. I got surprised by impressive stats of Indonesia, They are doing well, China is doing well, Thailand is bit slow but doing well, Sri Lanka is bit slow but little bit okay. Next two countries which I checked are India and Vietnam, India has done something but......Vietnam, I'm so positive about this country but stats doesn't show the progress of this country.

In my country Sri Lanka, I really worrying for quality of politicians.

India vs Indonesia

Skyline, there is one problem with India not present in other countries - including Pakistan.

Absolute grinding poverty. It will take atleast till 2025 for India to remove that along with literacy. Once you remove grinding poverty, the growth will be very fast as people will have atleast enough to strive for something better.

Today poverty in India is unlike poverty you have seen in any country.

Removing poverty can generate a huge domestic market. Good strategy.
