In many cases, we, at least I, don't try to ridicule India.
One time Mao Zedong said India and China were both victims of western powers, and should help each other.
"Ridiculing" India is more the cases the other people talk back to some ridiculous Indians behaviors.
For instance, I ridiculed your PM Singh's grand theory, coined in 2004, of in 4 years world forgets Shanghai, talks about Mumbai. Don't you think we, Indians and non-Indians, should all ridicule him of his baseless claims?
Now 12 years passed, Mumbai is still infested with terrorists, poverty, disorder, violence, short of electricity ... almost the same as 12 years ago, Shanghai has moved forward, leaving you further behind.
In fact I don't care how behind Mumbai is from Shanghai, I have problem with the horrible size of mouth from your fellow comrades, either your PM or internet keyboard warriors.
To address your concern, and to restore India's ancient reputation and prevent it from being a ridiculed object in modern time, let's stay together and screw some Indians' monstrously enormous, and hugely distorted big mouth to its proper and normal dimension.
BTW, about poverty. It is well known that China is still poor. But:
1) Never heard of people starved to death in China in last 30 years or so, much less in the number of millions a year.
2) Chinese government and its leaders are never saying in x years world forgets about New York (or whatever city), talks about Shanghai.
See the difference?
