more homogeneus compare to? in what respect?

the only reason why indonesia economy in better shape is because of the business skills of indonesian chinese community, but this fact was not appreciated by most of 'pribumi', mostly because 'pribumi' are unable to compete, envious with no reason. that's why in 1998 riot, chinese people were targetted. same thing in malaysia, without chinese those 2 countries will be the same level of economy as papua new guinea

Actually, India's eCommerce in 2014 worth



Good point! This explains the reason that India's domestic consumption is around 16% of China's, but their eCommerce size, which is mainly used for non-essential and luxury goods purchasing, is only about 2.4% of Chin's (2014 figure). @AndrewJin

But with retail ecommerce sales (excluding travel) 41 times that of India’s (217.4 billion vs 5.3 billion, respectively) and consumers hungry for ecommerce, China is becoming a promising prospect for global retailers. For the time being, we recommend deprioritizing the Indian market, and keeping your eyes fixed on China.

Ecommerce Opportunity in China and India









Sorry, this thread is about India vs Indonesia, the above reply was off topic. Stop here.

Hmm, I thought India was really consumption-driven...
Both Indonesia and India have relatively high growth though.

Homogenous? Are you kidding? Indonesia is very much ethnically and racially diverse. You do understand that right? You are talking about a nation with population of 256 million.

 

[Keel]

comparing "homogeneity" between Indonesia and India?
the key word is "more" with reference to @zeronet 's comment above
One has to list out the ethnic diversiies between the 2 countries to conclude if zeronet is incorrect

My impression with respect to the ethnic Chinese community in the 2 countries is Chinese-Indonesians are more successful economically than those in India
