[quote=PINETREE                ,22567]"In 5 years' time, people will be talking of Mumbai not Shanghai".Case of China========- the Communist dynasty is an extension/ continuation of the central power of emperorship which the entire Chinese system has been geared to over the last 2000-3000 yrs. - people are intelligent without much to hold them back - ie they can be focussed.- people are proud & united via the central govt & has a common culture & language.- generally not followers of any religion which tends to hamper economic progress.- culture encourages loyalty, self-development & hardwork to achieve success.Case of India========- has been a country of nations quite each having its own culture, languages & lifestyles. - has been a British colony in recent history. Under British rule, it was "divide and rule", intentionally keeping all indian states apart. - unified as a full country only when conquered by Britain in the 18th century. Politcally unified only when she gained independence since 1947 but with her 2 kidneys - present day Pakistan/ Bangladesh - removed from her by Britain. Thus  about 2000 yrs politically behind China.- political difference/disharmony exist within present day India. There is a Communist state in India whilst the rest of country practices democracy.- social differences due to the deeply-rooted caste system which is still being eradicated. - Loyalty in doubt - Indians adore the fair-skinned. Some Indian still practise English traditions/habits and are more English than the English - exception, maybe the Punjabis.- Religion - probably the country that produces the most religions. Indians are peaceful people that tend to be religious & they prefer to prepare for their next life than their present life.So despite her long history, having a huge coastline & intelligent people, the economic/political progress of India will not be able to match that of China. It is a country blessed with natural resources but a huge ratio gap between the rich and poor. Many believe that India should've turned to communism to restructure the entire country once and for all ( a separate thread on Communism ? ) to move forward quickly.The fact that she is shockingly not a permanent member of the UN Security Council & has no veto power in the UN (when she is 1 of the largest country in the world & 2nd largest in term of population) is an endorsement of her current position in the world. The answer to these 2 - she was a merely British colony until about 60 yrs ago. Do you agree ??[/quote]
