I have something to say, it is not about hatred, but it is some Indians' attitude towards their own people. "Freedom" is just confined in limited population of India, and this type of election-oriented democracy has excluded those voices that commercial media and incompetent politicians dislike. Yes, they have some sort of freedom to throw eggs to politicians and fight with each other in the parliament, then what is the consequence?yes we are still very small economy and we have very long way to go. but we are developing under democracy(though very slow than China). there are many problems with our system but it does not mean we should change our whole system. rather we must try to solve problems with our system.
we are poor, backward but we are very happy in our democracy. for us Freedom is more valuable than money because we know what is slavery. we have lived in slavery for nearly 1000 years.
Its true British gave us democracy but it is also true that we wanted democracy. our many generations have dreamed and struggled for this freedom which we are enjoying.
you are happy with communist regime and we are happy in our democracy. we both should achieve our goals with our own ways. its true you are gone far ahead of us but for us our freedom is more important than economic growth. and we are happy with it.
When we didn't know what the world was like, we felt quite content and happy too. And then if this status of self-centered ignorance proceeded, Chinese would still feel that kind or "happiness" which was meaningless since they couldn't even make ends meet and suffered from malnutrition.
For centuries, Chinese reckoned themselves as the centre of the world, politicians and emperors looked down upon any outsiders and thought them as primitive and uncivilised barbarians. Then came the lesson, a century of semi-colonizaiton of the nation. And later, some trials of so-called the best solution to society, "democratic" Republic of China. After 1949, obscurantism dominated with tons of tragedies. All of a sudden, the bubble broke since 1978.
For Chinese who were traveling in India, it was not property, but a general spirit-driven ignorance that shocked them.The same shock came when I discussed with my Indian friend, a fully educated engineer who spends his entire life working outside india. He kept saying that even the poorest Indians were fairly distributed with food and other necessities, that Indian peasants were so happy whilst I was reading some UN's reports on rural India and poor regions in the city. Which India is the real one? The one where 10% Indians get access to "freedom" and claim every Indians are happy enough? Or another one where farmers commit suicide, city dwellers in some "s*** regions" live a nearly primitive life and they keep being imposed by some Indians a coat called We are all happy?
I am getting more and more confused by incredible India.
