Indian mainstream media headlines suggest that Pakistan's current troubles are becoming a cause for celebration and smugness across the border. Hindu Nationalists, in particular, are singing the praises of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and some Pakistani analysts have joined this chorus. This display of triumphalism and effusive praise of India beg the following questions: Why are Indians so obsessed with Pakistan? Why do Indians choose to compare themselves with much smaller Pakistan rather than to their peer China? Why does India lag so far behind China when the two countries are equal in terms of population and number of consumers, the main draw for investors worldwide? Obviously, comparison with China does not reflect well on Hindu Nationalists because it deflates their bubble.

China was poorer than India until 1990 in terms of per capita income. In 2001, both nations were included in Goldman Sachs' BRICs group of 4 nations seen as most favored destinations for foreign direct investment. Since the end of the Cold War in 1990, the western nations, including the United States and western Europe, have supported India as a counterweight to China. But a comparison of the relative size of their economies reveals that China had a nominal GDP of US$17.7 trillion in 2021, while India’s was US$3.2 trillion. India invests only 30% of its GDP, compared with 50% for China; and 14% of India's economy comes from manufacturing, as opposed to 27% of China, according to the World Bank.

A recent SCMP opinion piece by Sameed Basha titled "Is India ready to take China’s place in the global economy? That’s just wishful thinking" has summed it up well:

"Comparing China to India is like comparing apples with oranges, with the only similarity being their billion-plus populations.......China is transforming itself into a technologically driven economy in order to exceed the potential of the US. In contrast, India is attempting to position itself as a market-driven economy utilizing its large population as a manufacturing base to compete with China........In its 2022 Investment Climate Statement on India, the US State Department called the country “a challenging place to do business” and highlighted its protectionist measures, increased tariffs and an inability to adjust from “Indian standards” to international standards".
With growing Washington-Beijing tensions, the United States is trying to decouple its economy from China's. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the Biden administration is turning to India for help as the US works to shift critical technology supply chains away from China and other countries that it says use that technology to destabilize global security.
The US Commerce Department is actively promoting India Inc to become an alternative to China in the West's global supply chain. US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo recently told Jim Cramer on CNBC’s “Mad Money” that she will visit India in March with a handful of U.S. CEOs to discuss an alliance between the two nations on manufacturing semiconductor chips. “It’s a large population. (A) lot of workers, skilled workers, English speakers, a democratic country, rule of law,” she said.
India's unsettled land border with China will most likely continue to be a source of growing tension that could easily escalate into a broader, more intense war, as New Delhi is seen by Beijing as aligning itself with Washington.
In a recent Op Ed in Global Times, considered a mouthpiece of the Beijing government, Professor Guo Bingyun has warned New Delhi that India "will be the biggest victim" of the US proxy war against China. Below is a quote from it:
"Inducing some countries to become US' proxies has been Washington's tactic to maintain its world hegemony since the end of WWII. It does not care about the gains and losses of these proxies. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a proxy war instigated by the US. The US ignores Ukraine's ultimate fate, but by doing so, the US can realize the expansion of NATO, further control the EU, erode the strategic advantages of Western European countries in climate politics and safeguard the interests of US energy groups. It is killing four birds with one stone......If another armed conflict between China and India over the border issue breaks out, the US and its allies will be the biggest beneficiaries, while India will be the biggest victim. Since the Cold War, proxies have always been the biggest victims in the end".

In spite of their recent troubles, the Pakistanis (rank 108) are still happier than Indians (rank 126) and Bangladeshis (rank 119), according to the World Happiness Report 2023 released today.

The country rankings show life evaluations (answers to the Cantril ladder question) for each country, averaged over the years 2020-2022.

This is the Cantril ladder: it asks respondents to think of a ladder, with the best possible life for them being a 10 and the worst possible life being a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale. The rankings are from nationally representative samples for the years 2019-2021.

Finland Rank 1 Score 7.804

India is home to a quarter of the world’s hunger burden with nearly 224.3 million people undernourished in the country. The situation is even more dire among children under the age of five — 36.1 million are stunted, accounting for 31% being chronically malnourished.

The sperm whale has the biggest brain of any animal species,

So are you suggesting they are smarter than humans ?

Elephants have the largest brains of all terrestrial mammals, including the greatest volume of cerebral cortex.

So they are smarter than humans ? lol at pakistani "logic"

True, if those impressive growth numbers were true, how come India's global hunger index ranking slides year on year, they just don't add up.

Whatever the Brits left, India inherited - basically PAK+BD started from scratch.

BBC NEWS | Special Reports | 629 | 629 | After partition: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh

news.bbc.co.uk

In terms of economic resources, India did much better than Pakistan out of partition. It inherited 90% of the subcontinent's industry and the thriving cities of Delhi, Bombay (now Mumbai) and Calcutta.

 

[etylo]

It is not India behind China, It is China pulling ahead of India. How did that happen? 2 factors

1. US companies like Walmart providing huge orders and exploited slave labor in China
2. Chinese state supported companies simply stealing IP, designs and undercutting original inventors and designers

Both contributed significant economic and some knowledge advantage. This combined with the autocratic style of decisioning and execution efficiencies meant great infrastructure.

Meanwhile India has to inevitably and willingly bungle through things like freedom, human rights, fairplay etc etc

Nothing comes easy as your foul mouth BS without any responsibility.

India has most number of slaves globally​

India has the highest number of slaves in the world, with estimates ranging from 14 million to 18 million people. In India, many people work as slave labour in the brick kiln industry – this includes women and children.

India is home to the world’s largest slave population (Yes, slavery still exists)

In the past, the desire for sugar drove the growth in slavery. Today, the global consumption of electronic goods is the primary culprit.

Confined, beaten and denied leave - but not seen as a slave in India

Tens of thousands of slavery survivors in India who were confined, abused and exploited at work are denied compensation because officials are often ignorant of the law - with police sending 60 workers they rescued home empty-handed this week.

India, a welfare state? You must be kidding.

Over 75% of the world's poor deprived of basic living standards (nutrition, cooking fuel, sanitation and housing) live in India compared to 4.6% in Bangladesh and 4.1% in Pakistan, according to a recently released OPHI/UNDP report on multidimensional poverty. Here's what the report says: "More than 45.5 million poor people are deprived in only these four indicators (nutrition, cooking fuel, sanitation and housing). Of those people, 34.4 million live in India, 2.1 million in Bangladesh and 1.9 million in Pakistan—making this a predominantly South Asian profile".

Why are you comparing humans to animals?

lol. YOU are the one suggesting larger brains means smarter.

The average brain weight of the adult male was 1336 grm; for the adult female 1198 grm.

The largest hominine brain, i.e. that of H. neanderthalensis, had a mean weight of 1487 grm.

So by your "logic", Neanderthal was the smartest humanoid followed by Men and women are the dumbest.

Saying Neanderthal is Humanoid is still very questionable.

Modern human, mostly outside of Africa has Neanderthal DNA.

How come different species can merge and have babies ?

Pure rubbish.

India did not have any "industry" to inherit.

British deliberately deindustrialized India to keep it as a captive market for british goods.

It was illegal for Indians to start ANY industry without british permission.

That is why Gandhi started the movement to boycott british goods and asked everyone to spin their own cotton thread. Because even that was illegal.

Even making salt was illegal, hence the "salt march".

OTOH Karachi was the richest city of undivided India.

As it was then a Hindu majority city inhabited by industrious Sindhis & Khatris who created market & jobs throughout province.

In 1947, they kiIIed & kicked out these job creating Hindus.

Today, Pakistan has gone bankrupt. KARMA.

ITs not me calling Neanderthal humanoid, its SCIENCE. Go complain to them.

Which species can merge and have babies ? Most can't and when they do the babies are infertile. E.g. Mules, Liger etc.

The princely states of India would have outpaced China. Human development along with the geographical economy took a great hit in 1947.

The princely states of India were mostly ruled by incompetent maharajas who didn't care about anything apart from personal wealth ( barring a few good ones)
Nizam of Hyderabad was among the richest person at that time but didn't care much about general wellbeing of his populace.
