India too has large Fx reserves,

Sorry to burst your bubbles but even Taiwan's foreign reserves are much bigger than India's and India Fx reserves are just the same size of a tiny city of Hongkong's.

Most data come from official sources, because only governments have the capacity to collect data across a nation

you are paranoid,these chinese recruitment websites are private companies which go public in NASDAQ. all data is the result of mass date calculation of respective website.

IND should invest more into education to arm their citizens.

What can IND do when half of the pops goes to neighbor countries as laborer. Seeing them in Qatar generally summarize their earning power and their education level.

 

[ashok mourya]

Maldives can reap "demographic dividends" if they have a vibrant workforce which would give them a high per capita income if they are not limited by natural resources. Just a small populated Singapore can defeat your argument about a direct correlation between "size of population" and "per capita income"

Regarding my personal opinion, I do not want to become China. I do not want a parliament which says tomorrow your house will be demolished because we want a park to be built on it. And the next day bulldozers arrive. Yes, I want progress like USA or Europe, but not China. We cannot and should not copy. We will do it with our way, our method. We have a rich Past... will follow it to the future. Today it is Modi, tomorrow some one else will come may be he will not work for next five years and we may slow down. But I am happy with that. It should be a sinusoidal wave, but not an exponential graph and suddenly we will all fall down.

All the statistics like international trade figures, Fx reserves, no of companies on "500" list, no of supercomputers in world, amount of holding in US bonds, sports awards, ranking of universities, foreign investments, personal wealth, tourists spending, luxury goods consumptions, car produced ...Now tell me which are these figures faked? Just for China to get excelled over India? Come on!

There 12 Indian super computers in Top 500 of world.

The main advantage is India is a very large market next only to China.

even if all chinese and west investments flood into asean,india will still have to open its market to these companies in asean, so there is no difference for china in terms of returns.

Hahahah, i know you people cant digest,check your self.

Holy, I didn't know India has such a high remittance number. That's actually very impressive that they surpass oversea Chinese in remittance.

What you described is not demographic dividend. You can check it on Google

No you are damn wrong
Demographic dividend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which says

Demographic dividend, as defined by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) means, “the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age share of the population (14 and younger, and 65 and older).” [1] In other words it is “a boost in economic productivity that occurs when there are growing numbers of people in the workforce relative to the number of dependents.”

That part is a direct interpretation of my previous comments on "skilled labour force, employment rate and employable labout force" which help generate growth in an economy

Anywhere in the world unemployed means people who are looking actively for work. If Yogis and Babas are actively looking for work then they are unemployed.

No it depends on how you define unemployment in a country and how do you define the "works' of babas and yogis
If the Yogis and Babas are not defined as "unemployed" in India then which categories irt the workforce do they fall into
If they are not " unemployed" then they are "dependents" on the society which effectively scale down the impact of "demographic dividends" in India: Negative components in either case to the growth of economy based on vibrant workforce

India too has large Fx reserves, no of companies on "500" list, no of supercomputers in world, amount of holding in US bonds, sports awards, ranking of universities, foreign investments, personal wealth tourists spending, luxury good consumptions, car produced....May not be on Chinese scale, but certainly impressive. After all we are behind Chinese in the size of economy.

we are talking about China v India as the topic of the thread leads us to this stage of argument
Your indian blah blah blah are stand-alone figures by an Indian.

With good growth rate, Indian economy will expand so will all the parameters you have listed above

Yawn, future tenses again

You have no idea what Indians are buying these days. You seem stuck in 1990's of India

Check the title of the thread again and try to envision yourself with the status of China v India according to what the thread implies

 

[Niks]

After many bad ,painfull days,a pakistani has started this feel good thread..
But a country struggling to achieve 4 percent growth,should not poke into the matter of other giants.
Even Bangladesh would overtake pakistan at this rate.Such a shame that would be

Do these people pay taxes? How many of these people are there in India?

 

[Echo_419]

The interesting thing about our Indian neighbors is that while many of them harbor delusions of being a superpower, almost none of them, no even the most nationalistic, believes they are on par with China. Which is a logically contradictory set of beliefs to hold because China is not a superpower.

Anyway, the road to greatness requires less pondering and more doing. When you are running a sprint race, you should focus on the finish line. Peering into your neighbor's lane to see how they're doing will only slow you down.

Only our stupid media has this Superpower syndrome every normal Indian knows that we need to work very hard to achieve our rightful place in the world again
