I travelled to India after 7 years and was immensely surprised to see the growth of Chennai, especially Mahabalipuram. Shocked and surprised but happy for the country.
As an Indian myself, I am surprised by traveling to other cities, just after a gap of 4-5+ years, at the level of development! Uttar Pradesh and Delhi outskirts were just slums back in 2010. But they are on a totally different level today!

True That ! Being the oldest civilisation on earth...we Indians have believed it for thousands of years in the famous sanskrit phrase 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' meaning the whole world is a big family!!

TBH Mumbai is not best city to view 'new India'.....It's one of 2-largest cities for sure...but Bangalore,Gurgaon,Noida project a much better view of what 'new India' is supposed to be like.
If it takes complete control of the india ocean, it can become a regional power. But insists on too much control over a population with too many differences. Instead of needing the approval of like 81 agencies to start businesses, they should focus on the quality of goods and most importantly food. Honestly, a more decentralized approach may do wonders for them or they could just get rid of democracy and go full control. Too much in the middle seems like a barrier stopping India

This India loves meritocracy
@@Buckzoo2030 It's 2023 now, it's not 1940s India. Ancient India had "Varna" system. Caste comes from "casta" a Portuguese word! When Iberians came to India they divided the population according to the leanage. It's good to research rather than commenting condescendingly.
I am from Kolkata capital of State, West Bengal and am 74 Years old ! I visited China 🇨🇳 number of times and my impression of its success story was its emphasis on building infrastructure ! In India 🇮🇳 focus on infrastructure came only about 20 Years back and now the process has been highly accelerated ! I believe that once we have international standards of infrastructure, there would be no going back and India 🇮🇳 will become One ☝️ of three top economies of World in next 10 years !
The important question is: will the US allow India to rise peacefully? The US has in the past smashed, even its allies, for becoming too advanced in their technology, viz. Toshiba, Japan, Thomson, France, and Arrow jet fighter planes, Canada. You must remember the US will never allow any country to surpass it. To do so, you are inviting the US to use their bigger hammer to hammer you on your heads. See what happens to Huawei!
Well said sir. Since we brought economic reforms 15-20 yrs late, China had the obvious headstart. But we will catch up soon. And I must add this, your generation and earlier generations of Indians have worked hard to make India as strong & prosperous as we see today. Next 10-15 yrs will be dramatic in India's development story.
Indian here! What a wonderful analysis you gave on India. We lost the race to China all because of family politics by some Leftist and fake Gandhi family. India under Modi is finally developing with rapid speed, had leader like modi been there after independence, today India would have been more developed than China. India and china should coexist peacefully instead of dragging other down. Hope to see more such informative content from you about India, China & Asian countries.

Being an Indian, my culture and mindset have been set around humbleness, intellect, hard work, self-introspecting, world-inclusive, empathy and tolerance.
Guess many Indians do as you described and I even have some good, smart and humble Indian friends. But when reading the comments pertaining to China, just as many or perhaps even more seem to be otherwise. Not bcoz China has done something bad to its people or country but bcoz of Indian media. Do we vote to change for the betterment or real positive outcomes or just for the sake of voting but nothing change. Can't we accept China being a long millennium and "Continuous Civilisation Nation" with its own ways and characteristics. It's ain't an exaggeration that China has done an impressive, rapid and unbelievable feats in rebuilding an nation. As some scholars even s quoted their governance legitimacy is based on their ability to lift its people living standard, advancement, adoption of science and technology, and modernisation of the whole country but just not by votes alone. It's that a crime or a violation of humanity except differences in politics or ways. Again the freedom slogan which we preach often. As for India's development, it's a blessing that it has finally arrived as it had been long overdue due to their slow start, diversity, customs, "democracy" and political environments. Guess Indians should know them better. However, there are many negativism in India unfounded in China too. As heard from a forum, India has adapted blindly and proudly the adverse part of democracy too, incondusive of India's political, cultural or tradition environments. For instance, general level of education, corruption, caste systems, and history of an united India (an outcome of British colonial past) of today.

Thanks for the great video, and thorough analysis. India has all the potential, just like China had. In the end, it's not a competition to become the next "superpower". It's a hope that we can all live together in peace and be prosperous together.

The success of India lies not in the obvious but in little things which are not so visible. The fact that our people are not motivated by buying fake or real designer goods but in achieving self actualisation goals. This is why we have millions of grassroots transformations.

India people has 500% confidence originally, after see your video india people will have 1000000% confidence and Belive that in one night time india will become Number one in the whole universe
I'm a Singaporean. My wife and kids are of Indian descent. I believe that India will become the supreme and only superpower within the next decade under the unpreceded leader Modi for two reasons. First of all, unlike China which is considered as a threat by every country and contained by the entire west, India receives the blessing of everyone because it has no ambitions of its own. She is the only major power for good and kindness and therefore innately has the moral high ground. Its future progress and development are bound to be unparallel and unstoppable. Secondly, the conflicts between the two existing hegemonies, namely United States and China, are of life and death. Their fight for controlling Taiwan is especially irreconcilable and will eventually lead to a nuclear war between them (probably will involve all the west). After the existing hegemonies nuke each other back to the stone age, India will emerge as the unquestionable power to lead and unit the world. Jai hind!

We do not think to compete with other countries instead we Indians work for ourselves and bring prosperity within our country and extend friendship and peace to the rest of the world.
Dunno, indians can't stop talking or comparing with china. It feels like India can admit they are inferior to west but never want to admit they are inferior to China and will make up any lie and disparage China's success. Just look at any Chinese video on success, you will see comment like China can only copy, steal, cheat, it will break down in a week, it's a debt trap, china is lying, they can't be believed, etc etc. too many excuses and denial of reality. India is turning like USA and west with endless china bashing in their media. Obviously this affects Indian politics and brainwashes Indians against China.
Thank you so much for the view about India, definitely, India would never bite anyone unless it is harmed. We will transform ourselves into the best and would make a better world to live in. We believe in spiritual life and that would make every better place to live. We want to give more to everyone. Really great video and made me proud of being Indian. Thank you, again. Namasthe.
Out of 5000 years of recorded history India was the wealthiest country for 4750 years with 25-30 percent share of world economy (USD 25 Trillion GDP in todays terms) India can definitely reclaim that spot if economy is properly handled during technological revolutions!

As a indian , i appreciate your hardwork and effort to get much data to make 30 minutes video. At 2007 to 2013 i see india as still poor country and use to hate my country too because of corrupt government, but after 2014 , modi came and he was a ultra nationalist guy. He started project called Swatch bharat (clean india) so he built lot of sanitation in india within 1 year, after that aatmanirbhar bharat project (self reliant india) which given power to all private industry to develop powerful weapon against other countries who tried to attack india and less independent on foreign weapons. Just like Modi promised that he would change india to poor to developing nation and to a developed one , he's making his promise done. We indians seen massive infrastructure, new skyscrapers a lot in india , now world's largest statue, Largest railway bridge etc like that. I feel proud to vote for him and i understand that only patriot political leaders can make any country powerful in this world that's why Modi is known as no.1 geopoltics leaders in the world. he also promised that if india got good minister like him then india would be a developed nation under 25 years. We are hoping to find many leaders like him for new generation of indians. Hearts from 🇮🇳❤️🙏
One point I would like to add. India doesn't want to be super power, instead we would like to call us TEACHER. Under present goernment we all are working together to make India a developed country. ITS A VISION OF OUR HON'BLE PRIME MINISTER SHRI MODI JI.. BUT ITS A MISSION FOR ALL INDIANS....
You have done a great analysis here. You really discussed some root problems of India and it's very interesting to see how you understood indian culture and thought process. India can turn into superpower through a continuous government power and it's not that far.
India will grow in their own way & their own pace. Like China, their problems are also magnified bcos of their size. But also don't forget Africa, Southeast Asia & Central Asia. The new world is multipolar & diverse & a lot more interesting. We are seeing a new assertion of eastern cultures as they gradually take a larger global economic pie.

Pascal, I see a great story teller in you! The metaphor of 'hope and dream', and 'the blue, the red, and the purple ocean'.... I mean, wow! As an Indian I have to agree with everything you said. Democracy as a hurdle: I felt the same, say, 10 years ago when I see development projects of national importance got stalled just for petty politics. India had series of coalition government then. But on hindsight I would say to my countrymen that we shouldn't treat it as lost decades, because that was part of maturing of our democratic process. It was part of the learning process of the voters of how to vote and for whom to vote. Voters have now realised we don't want coalition govt of regional parties, this we can see from the recent voting pattern where voters elect regional parties for the state assembly and national party for the national/central govt. Voters seem to realise bigger national parties have larger vision for the country and have the capacity to carry out that vision.
Thanks Mr. Pascal. I am out of my country India for many years. I am so glad to see your input about India and its future. I am so glad people like you and others have to say so many nice and encouraging things about our country. We have come long way and we hope to achieve many things not to prove anything to world but for benefits of our people. After years of struggle at last we are on path to better economy, development and better life for our people. We wish to remain humble and grateful to all countries and their people for their kindness and contribution for the progress we have seen in our country. We as nation are very kind, caring and loving people. India is changing for long time and now we see the difference. Our people are very honest, peaceful, intelligent and hard working.I hope not only we contribute to the prosperity and peace of our country but also share our growth with the rest of world. Web are not out to conquer or prove anything but to be part of happy world. DR. J. Mehta
Pascal, this has been the most candid, in depth look at India, no other video had gone into her complexities, her hybrid model, not a single other person has ever reported that different sectors move at a very different pace, i mean i am very impressed. Indians hate videos where only poverty is shown and some are focusing only on the developed parts but you showed the picture as it is and even gave valid explanations for those stark differences and offered possible solutions. Hence why i agree that India is more like a tiger than an elephant. She is colourful but almost invisible among the grass, sitting in waiting for long periods then suddenly out of the blue, she leaps when she sees the opportunity to grab its destiny. No one knows the direction she came from nor where she might go but there's a method in her madness.
I had lived in France & Germany for Five years. What western people do is visit one city or State and analyse whole country on it basis of it.. India has much more culture diversity and different language then combined Europe, it is more then continent. One can't evaluate India with European spectacles or scale by compair it to their native country, and most of westerner never miss to show the wrost (slum area) but never show good part like new infrastructure... You had shown old trains but didn't show new metros.

Hi Pascal 🙏 India & China are 2 unique great civilisations of 5-6 thousands years.

Once again, a great master class. Thanks Mr. Pascal. I'd like to comment on the perception of many Indians about democracy being a problem for them, considering that once there's many parties and their interests, sometimes not the best interests for the whole country. I completely agree with that, because we've been facing the same here in Latin America influenced overweeningly by the United States. I write from Brazil and can tell you that because of ou weak democratic institutions, we have lost two decades of development and economic growth. We have had 21 years dictatorship funded and planned by the US in the 1960. And after that, when Brazil was growing and developing again under the first and second Lula's terms, once again we have suffered another coup planned in the US against the alignment between Brazil and the BRICS. Now, after restored our democracy last Sunday's we have to face many parties aligned with the US strategy for Latin America trying to prevent Brazil to restore it's partnership with the BRICS and the whole south to project a sovereign and developed way for our country. I wish you could visit Brazil and show here your analysis on my country, specially now that Lula is back!
Brazilians are a wonderful people, in my view! I think Lula will be good for Brazil in the long run, because if any country has to prosper, it has to be able to carry all the people in that development process. That might make it a slower process (just like happened in India due to its slow-moving democracy), but in the long run it will be much more sustainable, because all the people have been consulted, and been part of that growth process. I could be wrong, but I think Lula will do a better job of including all Brazilians in its growth story, than Bolsanaro. The risk with not carrying all the people along is that those who are cast aside could some day revolt, and the whole system could come crashing down!
Lula is a far leftist a***hole and he's going to take Brazil back into the stone ages. Good bye Brazil. All the advancements you made under Balsonaro will all go away in the next year or two.
Americans have two parties and they both agree on majority of the policies. Issues of abortion, pronounces and all that sht doesn't matter as much. On the issues that are actually important both political parties of America are 2 sides of the same coin.
You are right Mr Pascal , as an Indian i have started feeling the vibe as you have described during only last one or two years . In my opinion Mr Modi a visionary is doing the magic , all indians including myself are props only at his disposal and i welcome that ✨✨✨ 💫 💫
India's national emblem is Ashok Stambh -4 lions facing each direction (east west south north). It signifies 4 pillars of democracy and also signifies being fierce like lions and being alert on all 4 directions.
Thank you for making a great business case analysis about India (i.e. Bharat) and sharing your opinion about India. I think many people (Indians and foreigners) will learn a great deal about India from your video. You highlighted one point about family based SMEs and thousand individuals taking one step at a time, instead of one person taking 1000 steps. In my opinion this is very much similar to the philosophy of doing good for the society, if the society is progressing and you will get the benefit as well because you are part of the same society. I believe soon 1000s of these people will start running and you will be amazed. You ended the video with a question: "Can we trust India?" I think your question is wrong because India as country and society is trusted by many countries in the world. Look at a recent example of "Vaccine Maitri". I am sure you will google and find out more about it. In my opinion the real question is: "Can India trust the west?" Find out what west did in 1971 (Bangladesh Liberation War) and 1999 (The Kargil War). Somebody's war ships landed close to eastern borders of India in 1971 to threaten us; and in 1999 someone blocked the GPS technology and also stopped supplying arms and ammunitions because of which it took little longer for India to win the war.
You might hear me with some difficulties to breathe during this video. I apologise for this, but it is the result of me catching covid-19 during my recent trip to India. This is also why I delayed this video release compared to my normal bi-weekly videos. I did however not want to delay too much and hope it is not disturbing too much. You can put the English subtitles on if that helps. BTW turns out I made another mistake I was not aware. I said the national anthem of Singpaore is the tiger, whole I meant Malaysia. Of course national animal of Singapore is Lion. Thats why its called Singha, meaning Lion. As I do all my shots in 1 take without teleprompter or prep wording, I sometimes make a lapsus.
Brother, I prayed to God bless u . You have bank of knowledge.... I wish you come again my country and see Incredible India......plz give next 10 years,and see the changes. Love and respect 🙏🏻 brother.
Thanks a lot....धन्यवाद.....For having a good wish for India...For all Indians...And surely Our India shall guide the World and that for the best for ALL.......!!!
One sweet detail that nobody notices about India is, despite having numerous states with unique cultures, its name doesn't start with the word "united." For instance, unlike the UNITED states, UNITED kingdom, or the United Emirates it's not united India but simply India.
Thank you sir. Your analysis is so much detailed it even answered to lot of questions I had when my friends from west used to ask me.. I wish India breaks its hardship and become prosperous peaceful nation....

Be proud to be an INDIAN and We love to share the love to other countries and have peace everywhere.
India’s philosophy of ‘world is one family’ will lead her in all aspects of her enterprises! Profit alone will not build the humanity and a saner future! India’s thousands of years’ wisdom will perhaps unify the world into the aspiring family of one humanity where service is more important than profit! Your assessment and narrative is near to truth! Thank you!
I love how u have analyzed India from your experiences rather than by the news from the biased media of ur west and demonizing Modi and Hinduism. Seriously I saw an unbiased program from West after a long time. I thank you from bottom of my heart for that.
It's great to see you present your insights on India. If India manages to cooperate with China and their neighbours (especially ASEAN countries), they can develop in no time.
Cooperation is what India tried historically but China with its totalitarian and expansionist mindset belittled India and finally there's a govt in India which is not coward and has the insights to play the cards right. China needs to be shown that India isn't just another poor small country that it can stomp.
Cooperation with the neighbourhood thug who wants to evict you will only result in your losing your home! India is showing in no uncertain terms that the CCP is not going to be able to walk over it. India is the only viable alternative to China and it is showing it.
I see no flattering here. "India wants to become the next India. They don't want to become the next anyone." On point 🎯🇮🇳. Thank you Sir for your unbiased explanation🙏
India being a democracy can never be compared with China which is autocratic. Democratic process is indeed very laborious and requires time. Diversity of India offfers another great challenge. We can only say we are struggling to go forward. Anyway we seem to be moving forward
I think your reasoning is good, but we should also understand that the Chinese authoritarian regime has only two advantages that aligns with rapid development, a stable government and an extreme ideology of nationalism. India already has extreme nationalism embedded by our movies and culture, and while a stable government has a single agenda they can keep working on (and may seem like an advantage to many), it'll create a saturatory point where it will destroy more than it creates. Look at any country that has a history of an authoritarian regime, each of it grew fast and deadly but had a saturatory point that made it succumb in itself.
Tomorrow is my exam yet I'm still watching this video. It was quite a good one. You explained India's drawbacks and achievements quite well. We are hopeful about India's future but don't know how far it will go in one decade. I'm just hoping 10 years later you will make videos about miracles performed in China as well as in India and explain them. I just wish India can improve HDI more faster because money doesn't measure your happiness in India.
Dear Pascal, This was truly a very nuanced and interesting analysis. It was well researched and well put together. I find your understanding far better than most other "western" analyst who tend to be more biased. Your understanding of china (culture) and its growth seems to give you a better understanding on how to view India. Your description between "Hope" and "Dream", "purple Ocean" and intrinsic spirituality (invisible strength) in society and culture is indeed the differentiator and it was Brillently put. I would request you to also do a Indo-China comparative study on the Maturity of the Capital market and Finical institutions, Educational system and institutions, Judiciary and Judicial process and Maturity of the Defense institutions and equipment's. Other areas could be Food security and Energy market / generation capacity. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Was very nice listening to you. excellent video Pascal do appreciate today India is progressing for the hard work of P.M. Mr Modi outstanding P.M. long live India n God bless India
India is 10-20 years ahead of China and Europe in Digital Innovation specially in UPI, top tier training and skilling of manpower by IITs(Indian Institutes of Technology) Government of India is introducing UPI is over 50 countries including Europe. The US Fed still doesn't have an answer to UPI and Aadhar technologies.
China and Europe have aging populations and are primarily concerned withnot losing their current industries too quickly. So most of the talent pool gets put into the existing industries rather than moving into new value-added industry. So Indians have the choice to move into something else and set up new industries.
Thanks for taking time and visiting india and really seeing the growth and prosperity first hand. Thanks to media narrative often foreigners have a different view/perception. The reality on the ground is what you need to see to believe. India will grow and be a sustainable leader. She owes it to its people as one if its oldest civilization. Not to compete with anyone but to reclaim her place on the world map
Excellent analysis! I was taken aback when you have mentioned "Invisible Energy"; Its very true. As for the trust factor, Indian mentality is positive and forward looking compared to that of her compatriots. India should never become a vassal or should never be subjugated by another power (aka... Mongols & British for the past 1000 years). No one cares about super power status here 🙂.
I think it's time for Pascal Coppens to transfer his 'base' to India. He had done a marvelous job of educating us about China and I believe he can do the same for India.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I will never be as knowledgeable about India as on China as I have lived in China for 20 years. But I am more than willing to share my thoughts on India and other places of transformation.
@@MRWM-mo6zs but for the thing that I'm looking for india isn't transparent enough. What I read from indian medias or watchers weren't sufficient or being masked a lot.
Very good research and very well explained.. Thank you Mr. Pascal. Yes, as an Indian, we feel like we need to be India of the future with our culture and heritage intact and spread positivity and grow as a family..but not be a pawn of western or eastern political agenda...Indians are with India!!
Nice informative video. Well studied India. Can we trust India? Surely, yes. 1. Not attacked any country in its entire history. 2. Supplied COVID vaccines all over the world despite having billion plus population. 3. Given good things like Yoga and Ayurveda to the world. 4. Supported/supporting neighbouring countries with limited economy. 5. Practising a concept that world is one family. Have always accepted everyone and every God leads to moksha.
Let me add one thing - India is the center of spirituality. In times when depression is common and when people finally understand how material wealth is not everything, people from all over the world will thirst for spiritual realization. That's a great deal of soft power for India
6:00 what a brilliant analysis! Great way of putting this in 4 quadrants! I myself being an Indian living in europe found it difficult to explain how india is placed against the world!
Wonderful contribution, thank you, dear Mr. Coppens. But may I add one limb of India supporting its special strength the West does not have: it's spine is also rooted in a strong, exquisite, ancient spirituality having to do with this 3rd-eye-vision, you mentioned. That inner strengh. The hidden Tiger! Everything is related to this foundation. And BIG companies in India? Hm. If they have ethical standards throughout, yes. But living in Europe, I clearly see - this characteristic is painfully missing or distroyed. So, strong doubts are allowed for the time being. There is now the chance, the West could learn from India ...... if not too arrogant ...
Thank you so much Mr Pascal, it was a well researched and well presented video. There are very few people in a world who actually understands India and it’s point of view and it’s actually rare where people actually know how India thinks and they often underestimate the Indian potential and its efforts being change in the society. Some people just analyse the potential based on some others misguided and biased analysed data but I appreciate you because you visited the actual place and concluded after interacting with actual businesses and data. Thanks for showing this.
Thank you showing the respect by accepting the integrity of India as one country. I'm living in Europe as well for over 12 years, and I went back to India after 4 years, I would say you pretty much hit the nail on the head where India stands. Here are a few add ons or reasons why different aspects of India are different years behind: * 2014 Modi was elected and India under massive external debt and broken financial system, so 2014-2017 was involved in fixing that (UPI for example), RERA (for clearer land titles which was a mess before) * 2017-2019 massive digitsation and simplification of business process as a result of IT * 2019-2021 massive investment into roads from both government and private sector (as land could be acquired much faster and digitization os payments gave trust to SMEs to build roads) * 2020-2021 (exports start choking), government starts building freight corridors, demand for trains starts increasing, huge growth in Unicorns leads to much higher incomes * 2022- (as a result of previous 0 to 1 steps) high speed rail construction starts approaching full speed (almost 120 km of piers laid), China Russia happens, India seems easier for Western companies but they still don't fully trust (but invest some money like Apple, Samsung, TSMC). However, keep in mind they have only started investing (takes 3-5 years to fully realize the investment and hire people at full capacity). This means people at large scale in India would start getting employed somewhere in 2025-2027. Now let's look at China, when did Chinese exports start exploding? Right after it joined WTO in 2001 which is roughly 25-26 years ago from 2025-27. However, one unique advantage India does have over China is IT. More precisely said, the IT industry in India is already at par with China, but the country is only yet starting to do manufacturing. This makes India the first country in the world which is a leader in high end IT but actually gaining manufacturing, and when the hardware does catch up with software it would give it unchallenged power (because software is essentially the strength of West versus Asia). This would mark the full transition of it being the Asian century. Japan for example failed miserably at software, Koreans did better software than Japanese, and Chinese do better software than Koreans. The Asian weakness of software is what prevented Japan, and could possibly China from being at the cutting edge of high end and low end which would lead to US or Western Europe wages.
India is like a huge animal, it take heavy step at a time and is very slow. However, once it takes a step forward, it's very very hard to push it back. Only time will tell the future it holds. But the fact remains the same - the power is finally coming back home to Asia where it belongs. This is the beginning of our century
When the things are done from the bottom of the heart to mentain peace, love and humanity among the people of the world,the hidden power of the creator of this beautiful planet always helps a man to move forward 👆🌍🙏🦁
Herr Coppens, As a German who also has close interests with Indien, I'd recommend you to go back in the timeline -- at least from 300 BC era until early 18th century -- you'll be shocked to find both China und Indien used to rule the roost with over 50% of the global trade. No what views we westerners harbor against Indien und China, both are on the right path to reclaim their lost glories as the world's largest trading economies once again. Note that China was poorer than Indien until late 1950s, so what makes anyone to doubt on the capabilities of Indien? Viele Grüße Dr. L
India do not exist before year 1947. British India was richer than China only because of the British empire. 1) The British built infrastructures, establish a good working governance/trade, good working toilets, introduced democracy and basically all the good ingredients of a good working and prospering economy for British India. 2) What did China have after being looted by 8 nation alliance? Was there any restitution given back to China from those looters in the form of infrastructures, trade etc.? No. India benefitted more compared to China even both countries were invaded and looted. 3) Compare the GDP of India versus GDP of China on year 1987 whereby India had 279.03 billion whereas China had 272.97 billion, the only time when both of their GDP overlapped under the data from World Bank? India started out richer under British India but when the British left, India only exposes their incompetence. From year 1947 to year 1987, China managed to catch up to India in GDP. WHY? 😂🤣 4) What about from year 1987 to year 2021 present day? Latest data from World Bank shows that China have 17.73 Trillion economy whereas India have merely 3.17 Trillion economy on year 2021. China has nearly 6 times more GDP than India. Why? 🤣😂 5) India and China had a clean reset in GDP on year 1987 whereby both countries started out the same, yet why such differences after that? 🤣 6) I ask you why India managed to produce a 3.17 trillion economy despite receiving so much foreign aid/business and zero sanctions whereas China managed to produce a 17.73 trillion economy despite so many business decoupling and sanctions from the West/US ? Is this the best India could do? 🤣😅 *You know nothing about the interpretations of financial data and their historical records before making any comment. Obviously, you're an Indian impersonating as a German. You call yourself a doctor/doctorate DR.L? Don't make me laugh* You dare to say *"what makes anyone to doubt on the capabilities of Indien?"* 😂
The infrastructure in India is headed for huge leap forward; Bharatmala Prayojana and 70 Expressways on the Road works; Dedicated Freight Corridors for movement of Railway Goods, with Delhi Mumbai and Delhi Kolkata first being connected; Sagarmala for the ports, increasing capacities; some 100 Airports slated for being upgraded; metro trains for major tier 1 to 3 cities on the way and increasing in length and coverage; passenger railways gaining traction with their fast trains steadily increasing across the country! All this significantly to be completed before the next general election in 2024, with quite some opened already in parts or fully. This is going to be a game changer for India which has struggled with infrastructure for decades. Industry and Business, across India will benefit, supply chain will become efficient; transportation cost could come down by about 5% from about 14/15% current levels, to about 9%.
Great start, but it will take atleast 5-10 years to see results. Vajpayee started infra developments in the early 2000s but democracy came in the way!! Just imagine if he had continues for 10 more years, we would be rivalling china now.
You will be surprised at the speed with which the infrastructure improvement is being embraced now, their useage is spontaneous as they were waiting for it, in less than two years each road/ metro/ rail/ etc will be used to good capacity; growth is taking off like never before.
@@kumarsitaraman5009 I agree, being from North East I can confirm infra projects have never been given so much importance as today evn in this part of the country. But the deficit in infra development is so huge that it will take at least a decade to say our infrastructure is no less than any other country.
Thanks for your reply! What is being planned as of now, the major infrastructure, particularly on roads, is scheduled for completion before the 2024 general elections, linking land locked northern India to the ports in the south; together with this major Expressways will also open across the country before the 2024 general elections. The North East and the border states with China and Pakistan are also steadily getting addressed so that there is connectivity for any contingency. To compare India with China on infrastructure is a tall order, China is way ahead, India will catch up over time.

Bangalore/Gurgaon/Thane are a better example of 'the next India' - mumbai is an old and dying city at this point
If it takes complete control of the india ocean, it can become a regional power. But insists on too much control over a population with too many differences. Instead of needing the approval of like 81 agencies to start businesses, they should focus on the quality of goods and most importantly food. Honestly, a more decentralized approach may do wonders for them or they could just get rid of democracy and go full control. Too much in the middle seems like a barrier stopping India

The important question is: will the US allow India to rise peacefully? The US has in the past smashed, even its allies, for becoming too advanced in their technology, viz.

To do so, you are inviting the US to use their bigger hammer to hammer you on your heads. See what happens to Huawei!
Well said sir. Since we brought economic reforms 15-20 yrs late, China had the obvious headstart. But we will catch up soon.

Well said..!
Truly brother
Guess many Indians do as you described and I even have some good, smart and humble Indian friends. But when reading the comments pertaining to China, just as many or perhaps even more seem to be otherwise. Not bcoz China has done something bad to its people or country but bcoz of Indian media. Do we vote to change for the betterment or real positive outcomes or just for the sake of voting but nothing change. Can't we accept China being a long millennium and "Continuous Civilisation Nation" with its own ways and characteristics. It's ain't an exaggeration that China has done an impressive, rapid and unbelievable feats in rebuilding an nation. As some scholars even s quoted their governance legitimacy is based on their ability to lift its people living standard, advancement, adoption of science and technology, and modernisation of the whole country but just not by votes alone. It's that a crime or a violation of humanity except differences in politics or ways. Again the freedom slogan which we preach often.
As for India's development, it's a blessing that it has finally arrived as it had been long overdue due to their slow start, diversity, customs, "democracy" and political environments. Guess Indians should know them better. However, there are many negativism in India unfounded in China too. As heard from a forum, India has adapted blindly and proudly the adverse part of democracy too, incondusive of India's political, cultural or tradition environments. For instance, general level of education, corruption, caste systems, and history of an united India (an outcome of British colonial past) of today.

When I said that India doesn't have an infinite amount of time to reach high income status because it now has below replacement level fertility and in a couple of decades will be dealing with an aging population and so it must act fast with what it has now in order to reach high income status within the next 25 years, an Indian user told me I was being condescending.

I'm a Singaporean. My wife and kids are of Indian descent. I believe that India will become the supreme and only superpower within the next decade under the unpreceded leader Modi for two reasons. First of all, unlike China which is considered as a threat by every country and contained by the entire west, India receives the blessing of everyone because it has no ambitions of its own. She is the only major power for good and kindness and therefore innately has the moral high ground. Its future progress and development are bound to be unparallel and unstoppable. Secondly, the conflicts between the two existing hegemonies, namely United States and China, are of life and death. Their fight for controlling Taiwan is especially irreconcilable and will eventually lead to a nuclear war between them (probably will involve all the west). After the existing hegemonies nuke each other back to the stone age, India will emerge as the unquestionable power to lead and unit the world. Jai hind!

At 2007 to 2013 i see india as still poor country and use to hate my country too because of corrupt government, but after 2014 , modi came and he was a ultra nationalist guy. He started project called Swatch bharat (clean india) so he built lot of sanitation in india within 1 year, after that aatmanirbhar bharat project (self reliant india) which given power to all private industry to develop powerful weapon against other countries who tried to attack india and less independent on foreign weapons.
Just like Modi promised that he would change india to poor to developing nation and to a developed one , he's making his promise done. We indians seen massive infrastructure, new skyscrapers a lot in india , now world's largest statue, Largest railway bridge etc like that.
I feel proud to vote for him and i understand that only patriot political leaders can make any country powerful in this world that's why Modi is known as no.1 geopoltics leaders in the world.
he also promised that if india got good minister like him then india would be a developed nation under 25 years. We are hoping to find many leaders like him for new generation of indians.

You have done a great analysis here. You really discussed some root problems of India and it's very interesting to see how you understood indian culture and thought process. India can turn into superpower through a continuous government power and it's not that far.

As an Indian I have to agree with everything you said.
Democracy as a hurdle: I felt the same, say, 10 years ago when I see development projects of national importance got stalled just for petty politics. India had series of coalition government then. But on hindsight I would say to my countrymen that we shouldn't treat it as lost decades, because that was part of maturing of our democratic process. It was part of the learning process of the voters of how to vote and for whom to vote. Voters have now realised we don't want coalition govt of regional parties, this we can see from the recent voting pattern where voters elect regional parties for the state assembly and national party for the national/central govt. Voters seem to realise bigger national parties have larger vision for the country and have the capacity to carry out that vision.

Pascal, this has been the most candid, in depth look at India, no other video had gone into her complexities, her hybrid model, not a single other person has ever reported that different sectors move at a very different pace, i mean i am very impressed. Indians hate videos where only poverty is shown and some are focusing only on the developed parts but you showed the picture as it is and even gave valid explanations for those stark differences and offered possible solutions. Hence why i agree that India is more like a tiger than an elephant. She is colourful but almost invisible among the grass, sitting in waiting for long periods then suddenly out of the blue, she leaps when she sees the opportunity to grab its destiny. No one knows the direction she came from nor where she might go but there's a method in her madness.

India & China are 2 unique great civilisations of 5-6 thousands years.

Once again, a great master class. Thanks Mr. Pascal. I'd like to comment on the perception of many Indians about democracy being a problem for them, considering that once there's many parties and their interests, sometimes not the best interests for the whole country. I completely agree with that, because we've been facing the same here in Latin America influenced overweeningly by the United States. I write from Brazil and can tell you that because of ou weak democratic institutions, we have lost two decades of development and economic growth. We have had 21 years dictatorship funded and planned by the US in the 1960. And after that, when Brazil was growing and developing again under the first and second Lula's terms, once again we have suffered another coup planned in the US against the alignment between Brazil and the BRICS. Now, after restored our democracy last Sunday's we have to face many parties aligned with the US strategy for Latin America trying to prevent Brazil to restore it's partnership with the BRICS and the whole south to project a sovereign and developed way for our country. I wish you could visit Brazil and show here your analysis on my country, specially now that Lula is back!
I'm not familiar with the Brazilian situation: is Lula for cooperation with BRICS or against?
And how about Bolsonaro?
Brazilians are a wonderful people, in my view!
I think Lula will be good for Brazil in the long run, because if any country has to prosper, it has to be able to carry all the people in that development process. That might make it a slower process (just like happened in India due to its slow-moving democracy), but in the long run it will be much more sustainable, because all the people have been consulted, and been part of that growth process.
I could be wrong, but I think Lula will do a better job of including all Brazilians in its growth story, than Bolsanaro. The risk with not carrying all the people along is that those who are cast aside could some day revolt, and the whole system could come crashing down!
Lula is a far leftist a***hole and he's going to take Brazil back into the stone ages. Good bye Brazil. All the advancements you made under Balsonaro will all go away in the next year or two.
In a nutshell, US, directly or indirectly, destroyed economies of South America.
Americans have two parties and they both agree on majority of the policies.
Issues of abortion, pronounces and all that sht doesn't matter as much.
On the issues that are actually important both political parties of America are 2 sides of the same coin.
You are right Mr Pascal , as an Indian i have started feeling the vibe as you have described during only last one or two years . In my opinion Mr Modi a visionary is doing the magic , all indians including myself are props only at his disposal and i welcome that ✨✨✨ 💫 💫

Thank you for making a great business case analysis about India (i.e. Bharat) and sharing your opinion about India. I think many people (Indians and foreigners) will learn a great deal about India from your video. You highlighted one point about family based SMEs and thousand individuals taking one step at a time, instead of one person taking 1000 steps. In my opinion this is very much similar to the philosophy of doing good for the society, if the society is progressing and you will get the benefit as well because you are part of the same society. I believe soon 1000s of these people will start running and you will be amazed. You ended the video with a question: "Can we trust India?" I think your question is wrong because India as country and society is trusted by many countries in the world. Look at a recent example of "Vaccine Maitri". I am sure you will google and find out more about it. In my opinion the real question is: "Can India trust the west?" Find out what west did in 1971 (Bangladesh Liberation War) and 1999 (The Kargil War). Somebody's war ships landed close to eastern borders of India in 1971 to threaten us; and in 1999 someone blocked the GPS technology and also stopped supplying arms and ammunitions because of which it took little longer for India to win the war.
May God bless India 🇮🇳 and China 🇨🇳 for world peace.

India being a democracy can never be compared with China which is autocratic. Democratic process is indeed very laborious and requires time. Diversity of India offfers another great challenge. We can only say we are struggling to go forward. Anyway we seem to be moving forward
@Factual History of British Raj & BEIC are u dumb or something ?
I think your reasoning is good, but we should also understand that the Chinese authoritarian regime has only two advantages that aligns with rapid development, a stable government and an extreme ideology of nationalism.
India already has extreme nationalism embedded by our movies and culture, and while a stable government has a single agenda they can keep working on (and may seem like an advantage to many), it'll create a saturatory point where it will destroy more than it creates. Look at any country that has a history of an authoritarian regime, each of it grew fast and deadly but had a saturatory point that made it succumb in itself.
Democracy is you mouth piece no result

Dear Pascal, This was truly a very nuanced and interesting analysis. It was well researched and well put together. I find your understanding far better than most other "western" analyst who tend to be more biased. Your understanding of china (culture) and its growth seems to give you a better understanding on how to view India.
Your description between "Hope" and "Dream", "purple Ocean" and intrinsic spirituality (invisible strength) in society and culture is indeed the differentiator and it was Brillently put.

China and Europe have aging populations and are primarily concerned withnot losing their current industries too quickly. So most of the talent pool gets put into the existing industries rather than moving into new value-added industry. So Indians have the choice to move into something else and set up new industries.
UPI has really made life easier! Fantastic instrument to give and accept money!

Thanks for taking time and visiting india and really seeing the growth and prosperity first hand. Thanks to media narrative often foreigners have a different view/perception.

Not to compete with anyone but to reclaim her place on the world map
Excellent analysis! I was taken aback when you have mentioned "Invisible Energy"; Its very true. As for the trust factor, Indian mentality is positive and forward looking compared to that of her compatriots.

@@MRWM-mo6zs but for the thing that I'm looking for india isn't transparent enough. What I read from indian medias or watchers weren't sufficient or being masked a lot.
@@浦和-f5y what things are you looking for? I hope they exist though
Very good research and very well explained.. Thank you Mr. Pascal. Yes, as an Indian, we feel like we need to be India of the future with our culture and heritage intact and spread positivity and grow as a family..but not be a pawn of western or eastern political agenda...Indians are with India!!
One of the best videos about India. It was very refreshing to see a non Indian understanding Indian way of thinking.
Nice informative video.
Well studied India.
Can we trust India? Surely, yes.
1. Not attacked any country in its entire history.
2. Supplied COVID vaccines all over the world despite having billion plus population.
3. Given good things like Yoga and Ayurveda to the world.
4. Supported/supporting neighbouring countries with limited economy.
5. Practising a concept that world is one family. Have always accepted everyone and every God leads to moksha.
Let me add one thing - India is the center of spirituality. In times when depression is common and when people finally understand how material wealth is not everything, people from all over the world will thirst for spiritual realization. That's a great deal of soft power for India
We want to be "Vishwaguru" aka "Global Teacher" because Superpowers dominate on others but a Vishwaguru inspires others ☺
Thank you for correction in indian map🇮🇳🙏
6:00 what a brilliant analysis! Great way of putting this in 4 quadrants! I myself being an Indian living in europe found it difficult to explain how india is placed against the world!
Wonderful contribution, thank you, dear Mr. Coppens. But may I add one limb of India supporting its special strength the West does not have: it's spine is also rooted in a strong, exquisite, ancient spirituality having to do with this 3rd-eye-vision, you mentioned. That inner strengh. The hidden Tiger! Everything is related to this foundation.
And BIG companies in India? Hm. If they have ethical standards throughout, yes. But living in Europe, I clearly see - this characteristic is painfully missing or distroyed. So, strong doubts are allowed for the time being. There is now the chance, the West could learn from India ...... if not too arrogant ...
Thank you for understanding the situation of India. Lots of love from 🇮🇳
Thank you so much Mr Pascal, it was a well researched and well presented video. There are very few people in a world who actually understands India and it’s point of view and it’s actually rare where people actually know how India thinks and they often underestimate the Indian potential and its efforts being change in the society. Some people just analyse the potential based on some others misguided and biased analysed data but I appreciate you because you visited the actual place and concluded after interacting with actual businesses and data. Thanks for showing this.
*HISTORY REPEAT* - Asia dominate the world just like before in ancient times ❤️
Thank you showing the respect by accepting the integrity of India as one country. I'm living in Europe as well for over 12 years, and I went back to India after 4 years, I would say you pretty much hit the nail on the head where India stands.
Here are a few add ons or reasons why different aspects of India are different years behind:
* 2014 Modi was elected and India under massive external debt and broken financial system, so 2014-2017 was involved in fixing that (UPI for example), RERA (for clearer land titles which was a mess before)
* 2017-2019 massive digitsation and simplification of business process as a result of IT
* 2019-2021 massive investment into roads from both government and private sector (as land could be acquired much faster and digitization os payments gave trust to SMEs to build roads)
* 2020-2021 (exports start choking), government starts building freight corridors, demand for trains starts increasing, huge growth in Unicorns leads to much higher incomes
* 2022- (as a result of previous 0 to 1 steps) high speed rail construction starts approaching full speed (almost 120 km of piers laid), China Russia happens, India seems easier for Western companies but they still don't fully trust (but invest some money like Apple, Samsung, TSMC). However, keep in mind they have only started investing (takes 3-5 years to fully realize the investment and hire people at full capacity).
This means people at large scale in India would start getting employed somewhere in 2025-2027.
Now let's look at China, when did Chinese exports start exploding? Right after it joined WTO in 2001 which is roughly 25-26 years ago from 2025-27.
However, one unique advantage India does have over China is IT. More precisely said, the IT industry in India is already at par with China, but the country is only yet starting to do manufacturing. This makes India the first country in the world which is a leader in high end IT but actually gaining manufacturing, and when the hardware does catch up with software it would give it unchallenged power (because software is essentially the strength of West versus Asia). This would mark the full transition of it being the Asian century. Japan for example failed miserably at software, Koreans did better software than Japanese, and Chinese do better software than Koreans. The Asian weakness of software is what prevented Japan, and could possibly China from being at the cutting edge of high end and low end which would lead to US or Western Europe wages.
Wow amazing u hv really get into skin of India..it's amazing some non Indian analyze this in short time...u r civilization reader..good mate
India is like a huge animal, it take heavy step at a time and is very slow. However, once it takes a step forward, it's very very hard to push it back. Only time will tell the future it holds. But the fact remains the same - the power is finally coming back home to Asia where it belongs. This is the beginning of our century

Herr Coppens,
As a German who also has close interests with Indien, I'd recommend you to go back in the timeline -- at least from 300 BC era until early 18th century -- you'll be shocked to find both China und Indien used to rule the roost with over 50% of the global trade.
No what views we westerners harbor against Indien und China, both are on the right path to reclaim their lost glories as the world's largest trading economies once again.
Note that China was poorer than Indien until late 1950s, so what makes anyone to doubt on the capabilities of Indien?
Viele Grüße

India do not exist before year 1947. British India was richer than China only because of the British empire.
1) The British built infrastructures, establish a good working governance/trade, good working toilets, introduced democracy and basically all the good ingredients of a good working and prospering economy for British India.
2) What did China have after being looted by 8 nation alliance? Was there any restitution given back to China from those looters in the form of infrastructures, trade etc.? No. India benefitted more compared to China even both countries were invaded and looted.
3) Compare the GDP of India versus GDP of China on year 1987 whereby India had 279.03 billion whereas China had 272.97 billion, the only time when both of their GDP overlapped under the data from World Bank? India started out richer under British India but when the British left, India only exposes their incompetence. From year 1947 to year 1987, China managed to catch up to India in GDP. WHY? 😂🤣
4) What about from year 1987 to year 2021 present day? Latest data from World Bank shows that China have 17.73 Trillion economy whereas India have merely 3.17 Trillion economy on year 2021. China has nearly 6 times more GDP than India. Why? 🤣😂
5) India and China had a clean reset in GDP on year 1987 whereby both countries started out the same, yet why such differences after that? 🤣
6) I ask you why India managed to produce a 3.17 trillion economy despite receiving so much foreign aid/business and zero sanctions whereas China managed to produce a 17.73 trillion economy despite so many business decoupling and sanctions from the West/US ? Is this the best India could do? 🤣😅
*You know nothing about the interpretations of financial data and their historical records before making any comment. Obviously, you're an Indian impersonating as a German. You call yourself a doctor/doctorate DR.L? Don't make me laugh* You dare to say *"what makes anyone to doubt on the capabilities of Indien?"* 😂
The infrastructure in India is headed for huge leap forward; Bharatmala Prayojana and 70 Expressways on the Road works; Dedicated Freight Corridors for movement of Railway Goods, with Delhi Mumbai and Delhi Kolkata first being connected; Sagarmala for the ports, increasing capacities; some 100 Airports slated for being upgraded; metro trains for major tier 1 to 3 cities on the way and increasing in length and coverage; passenger railways gaining traction with their fast trains steadily increasing across the country!
All this significantly to be completed before the next general election in 2024, with quite some opened already in parts or fully.
This is going to be a game changer for India which has struggled with infrastructure for decades.
Industry and Business, across India will benefit, supply chain will become efficient; transportation cost could come down by about 5% from about 14/15% current levels, to about 9%.
Great start, but it will take atleast 5-10 years to see results. Vajpayee started infra developments in the early 2000s but democracy came in the way!! Just imagine if he had continues for 10 more years, we would be rivalling china now.
You will be surprised at the speed with which the infrastructure improvement is being embraced now, their useage is spontaneous as they were waiting for it, in less than two years each road/ metro/ rail/ etc will be used to good capacity; growth is taking off like never before.
@@kumarsitaraman5009 I agree, being from North East I can confirm infra projects have never been given so much importance as today evn in this part of the country. But the deficit in infra development is so huge that it will take at least a decade to say our infrastructure is no less than any other country.
Thanks for your reply!
What is being planned as of now, the major infrastructure, particularly on roads, is scheduled for completion before the 2024 general elections, linking land locked northern India to the ports in the south; together with this major Expressways will also open across the country before the 2024 general elections.
The North East and the border states with China and Pakistan are also steadily getting addressed so that there is connectivity for any contingency.
To compare India with China on infrastructure is a tall order, China is way ahead, India will catch up over time.
India is already a modern country but many are assuming it's not because of dust due to climate conditions. It's my experience of visiting many countries 🙏
What about paan spit everywhere?? Or people using the bathroom?? Lack of trash cans
@@RojaJaneman It's like poor people in US, there are spitting people in India.
Because of the existing poverty and underdeveloped and chaotic areas of India. India has a long way to go. 25 - 30 years for sure.
Same. Visited Dubai for a week and when the sandstorm hit, it was like I am back in India except the buildings. Rest is pretty much the same.
@@RojaJaneman bruh thats what he said it. Is a modern country but with open problems simple and modern means yeah living not that great but i know i can get anything done i want like brcuz most of the country is digital
