For all intents and purposes, India is a banana republic, a wretched place...

Well done boys...make India a great place

because u cheat and steal and don't obey patent law

Cant call India a banana republic, For all it's faults in corruption , abject poverty and societal ills like caste system.. It's a functioning multi party democracy , A potent regional power, an aspiring economic powerhouse.. It has a very solid central governance, A strong military and little chance of threats to it's sovereignty and territorial integrity

Banana republics are those with weak governance with internal and external threats to it's sovereignty, But saying that India is nothing close to China as a global or economic power, China is many decades ahead of it in every aspect imaginable, So it's really futile and deluded that some Indian posters try to portray other wise or even try to compare the two

Two countries with two systems, Apples and oranges.. I would'nt say one system is better than the other, China has worked wonders for it's citizenry through it's system, India though messy is doing relatively well as well with it's but will take way much longer to archive it's goals

@Mr.Nair man world is coming to an end this quote from chinese about obeying patent laws is the last straw

Banana or mango country we still live as free ppl rather than virtual slaves.

what better way to deman when the indians have elevated these subhumans to human level.

A Chinese refer to Indians as "subhumans" after enduring Nanking and Unit 731 treatment from Japanese.

Oh the irony

Exporting Indian talent is a joke..more like exporting cheap sweat shop labour..Indian labour is all about numbers..and zero efficiency..there are real life figures from our HR when replacing manual labor...

1 Pakistani = 3 Filipinos
1 Pakistan = 2 Indians

In that case I advise every Pakistani to go to Dubai and be a Carpenter because you are good labours!! Because be it US, EU , Canada, Australia, we will take away the Job placements and won't let you in.

"Here is a staggering truth. 21% of Indians live on less than $1.90. Think about that? That is nearly 260 million Indian's "

Why does the world care about the bottom 21 in India % ? The only reason you care is that it makes you feel better.

The top 20% of the Indian population is attractive to global companies. That includes Chinese companies.

India has ways before catching up with China

The success of Indians outside specially in western countries cannot be digest by people here on PDF. This is why I advised them to be carpenter in saudi arab or UAE. As one of them here posted that 1 Pakistani = 2 Indian labours
Indians are the richest Diaspora after Jews in USA. Also in UK an EU Indians are int highly reputed positions like professors and Doctors, Pharmacist and Scientists. In IT sector we Indians are doing damn good.

For all intents and purposes, India is a banana republic, a wretched place of poverty and disease.....

The only difference between India and other well-recognized banana republics is that India has so far avoided overly negative headlines in the international media; Indian lobbies in the US and the UK work very hard to make India look good. As noted above, this mainly serves to prop up the self-esteem of NRIs.


It has become fashionable to compare India to China.

This comparison seems extremely far-fetched. Chinese GDP per capita is more than five times higher, and is growing more than four-times faster than India’s in absolute terms. If India keeps growing at the recent high rate of 7.5% and China at a mere 6.3%, it will take India more than 135 years to catch up with China’s economic output in absolute terms.

(Above are the words from an indian writer...please, see references below)

It is truly disturbing picture that the indian writer brings out in the REAL world. Instead of making fun of indians here...we need to pause for thought..show compassion and develop understanding in order to deal with this bizarrre state of affairs...

When this circus in india comes crashing down...who is going to be blamed?

What distractions will the regime use?

What promises will it make?

The smoke screen of black money operation is just a stunt...cui bono ????

There are also sane vocies in india. These voices need a podium.

Jayant Bhandari has written a thought provoking and brutally honest series.



1- India’s Government Makes Banknotes Worthless by Decree Overnight


As I write this in the morning of 9th November 2016, there are huge lines forming outside gold shops in India — and gold traded heavily until late into the night yesterday. Depending on who you ask, the retail price of gold has gone up between 15% and 20% within the last 10 hours.

2- Chaos in the Wake of the Ban


Here is a link to Part 1, about what happened in the first two days after India’s government made Rs 500 (~$7.50) and Rs 1,000 (~$15) banknotes illegal. They can now only be converted to Rs 100 (~$1.50) or lower denomination notes, at bank branches or post offices. Banks were closed the first day after the decision. What follows is the crux of what has happened over the subsequent four days.

link: http://www.acting-man.com/?p=47842

3) When Money Dies

In part-I of the dispatch we talked about what happened during the first two days after Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi banned Rs 500 and Rs 1000 banknotes, comprising of 88% of the monetary value of cash in circulation. In part-II, we talked about the scenes, chaos, desperation, and massive loss of productive capacity that this ban had led to over the next few days.

link: http://www.acting-man.com/?p=47966


4) A Market Gripped by Fear

The Indian Prime Minister announced on 8th November 2016 that Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 banknotes would no longer be legal tender. Linked are Part-I, Part-II and Part-III updates on the rapidly encroaching police state.

The economic and social mess that Modi has created is unprecedented. It will go down in history as an epitome of naivety and arrogance due to Modi’s self-centered desire to increase tax-collection at any cost.

5) Gold Price Skyrockets....

Expect a continuation of new social engineering notifications, each sabotaging wealth-creation, confiscating people’s wealth, and tyrannizing those who refuse to be a part of the herd, in the process destroying the very backbone of the economy and civilization.

There are clear signs that in a very convoluted way, possession of gold for investment purposes will be made illegal. Expect capital controls to follow. Chaos from people’s inability to access the money in their bank accounts is now spreading to the people who have so far been unaffected: the middle class.

This is a completely unnecessary man-made disaster, with the single aim of glorifying Narendra Modi.

6) India's Rapid Progression Towards a Police State

There are undoubtedly many differences between the two gentlemen depicted above, but both appear to have mastered the age-old trick of extending one’s grip on political power by inflicting chaos.







As the deadline of 31st December 2016 approaches, Gresham’s law has been turned upside down. When they needed to be converted, the banned currency notes were trading for a 20% discount to their face value. In the meantime, the discount has disappeared and the banned notes are trading at a premium of 10%. The mafia which deals in the banned notes could not possibly be happier — it promises to be a big supporter of Modi going forward.

7)- Modi’s Fantastic Promises

There is still huge support for Modi even among the poor. A big carrot is dangled before them, which makes many stay numb to their current suffering. During his election campaign in 2014, Modi promised to deposit more than Rs 1.5 million (~$22,000) in each poor person’s account once the government had seized all black money.

Massive problems have been reported with the new bills. Some have been printed on defective paper and are simply falling apart. The inferior quality of the print job is generally often on the appalling side of deplorable. The new notes are counterfeited with great abandon, quite likely to a much greater extent than they ever were in the past. So much for Modi’s plan to stop counterfeiting.


Photo credit: The Hindu

How he arrived at this fantastic figure is anyone’s guess. But given India’s GDP of $1,718 per capita, Modi has promised to deposit 1,300% of annual GDP in individual bank accounts. The total amount would be larger than the entire GDP of the US. Evidently, this does not even remotely add up.

I have worked with Indians and some Pakistanis.

The smartest Indians are a notch above the smartest Pakistanis unless smartest Pakistanis are hiding somewhere

Combine it with a 10:1 numerical edge and network effect Indians will blow out the smartest Pakistanis. The results are there to see

70% of the world's seizes counterfeit goods come from China.

87% of the value of counterfeits seized originated in China.

Majority of executions happen in china (more than rest of the world put together)

41% of all global cyber crime attacks originated from China.


This is the price of "chinese model" that has worked wonders.
