I was thinking of why India is so obsess with China and not wanting to compete with the US. And the answer dawn on me. In the Indian hierarchy of castes, North East Indian, which look closely resemble to Chinese, or generally schedule tribes. So in effect, Chinese are people that they would look down upon in Indian society. American white people, on the other hand, are regarded as the "pure" Brahmin race as the original Aryan invaders are white race. The Brahmin Indians regard themselves as white, as evident from their usage of skin whitening creams and going to sites like storm front to support them. (Even though they were told to f*k off) So its just that much more frustrating when they are clearly overmatch by someone that would regard as a "schedule tribe" nation such as China. So they are obsess with China. To sum it up, their obsession with China is rooted in the caste base culture. And also their worship of the west is rooted in the same culture.
