Biswakarma baba ki jai.
Vishwakarma is considered as the Janak(founder) of precision machine-tooling and machine-engineering in India. He was the man who led foundation of India's Textile, Steel & Zinc industries. In many parts of india,
even today indians worship machines and machine-tools in factories on Viswakarma divas(day). This day comes in same month of Deepavali, do
u remember ur dad going to factory with roli-chawal and drawing Swastik on external surface of Boiler, with roli+water?
World's
first Zinc was distilled in Rajasthan, by highly skilled, wealthy, rich shudras(engineers). In 2nd Century, india used to export Wootz Steel to Romans, Spain .
Wootz Steel is a very tough alloy of Steel, used in making Swords, Arm-guards & war equipments for Roman soldiers. India had exclusive patent of this.
Later when india came under British rule, they moved all these industries(along with trained academics, texts) to Europe in 1750. This is how modern Europe got its "seed" start. By 1860, de-industrialization of india was complete. You can read this whole history, in details from Angus Madison OECD World Economic History report.
Year 1750:
India's GDP - 24% of world GDP.
China - 27%
GDP of West+Europe - less than 20%
Year 1950:
India's GDP - 2%
China - a little better than india.
GDP of West+EU - more than 60%
Capitalism is not new to India. The so-called
modern concept of Venture-Capitalist came from "Saahukaar" concept in india(notice how saahukaar are also accused tobe crony capitalists
). This is just one sample, history of Europe and India is like twin sisters, they are very connected. Infact, West got Sea-navigation maps from Arabs, then they could do it. Arabs got these maps from delhi. Now we are witnessing re-rise of Bharat. Ofcourse, this Bharat is much smaller in size compared to Roman-era version(5 times more), but we are blessed with 1.2 billion uneducated idiots. We will play it right and capture lost propsperity again. And ofcourse, China is india's ideological sister, part of Hindutva family(Ramayan).
