An average city in China has better infra than that of any major metro in India. In the US, debate is going on: how to get more meritorious people there? who can build more firms. And, give more jobs. Singapore has transformed its economy to the point: where they are NOW rejecting multi-millionaires from settling there. They got to this point in the last 50 years. Thailand and Vietnam are way ahead on their tourism, compared to India. Give it 15 more years, India will be no where near. There are 0 leaders in India who are talking about: - Sensible taxation. - Rolling back reservations/freebies. - How to increase our exports. How to build wealth in an ever competitive world. Our game-plan seems to be: tax people to death. Use their money to support freeloaders. And, then expect them to stay and "build" the nation.

1980s: India and China had similar GDP 45 years later: China's GDP is 5X that of India. The situation is such that China is now taking our land. And, we can't do jack-shit about it. In terms of future preparation:- China is winning all important races -- the AI, ML, Exports, Robotics -- you name it. All Indian political parties are simply running a freebie race: killing merit, encouraging freeloaders and doing 0 prep. What kind of a meaningful future do you see for hardworking Indians?
