[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of the up and coming countries while no friend of each other make no bone about oppressing minorities and disdain for democracy in their respective countries.  With the Chinese it’s to be expected but the way the Indians have betrayed democratic values is pretty shocking.[/quote]

India is poisoned by democracy.

Without its own Deng, it will never move to middle income status.

No country has attempted democracy at India’s relative per capita economic status and been able to develop into middle income status.

If China had Ghandi, Nehru and Jinnah instead of mao and deng, it would be crushingly poor to this day.

Deng especially is extremely underrated when it comes to sheer influence on the number of humans he moved up the HDI ladder. History will judge Deng extremely kindly

Think you have a warped view here.

Indian democracy is under threat as opposition leaders and supporters are harassed and jailed - even while their economy and standards of living have been steadily improving - Also I doubt the lowest rung of their caste system the Untouchables wants to return to life prior to democracy when they not only had no vote but were treated as subhuman.

Has the standard of living improved in India?

Even though the richest 20% of Indians were more positive about their standards of living than the poorest 20% in 2022 (72% versus 44%, respectively, said they were getting better), the perceptions of the poorest 20% have nevertheless been improving almost every year since 2016.Sep 5, 2023
