USA played huge role in growth of China, R&D was done in USA and production was done in China , and their economic policies.
Yes
US did nkt support India due to our relations with soviet.
@@jb-dn9lm we are not denying that .
It was Japan who invested in China
Our government's bad economic decisions were also reason for us being poor
1. Nehru and Indira Gandhi were supporter of the socialist ideology
2. India was somewhat of an socialist country where major industries were in control of the government from 1950 - 80
3. Ease of doing business was very poor, because of all pervasive licensing (license raj) , which discouraged the entrepreneurial mindset which made us rich in the past
4. Government intervention drove away MNCs like Coca Cola and IBM
5. Bank Nationalisation worsen our Economic condition and achieved nothing but Quick loan facility for Politicians
6. Rise of Communism, which ruined strong economies like West Bengal, by discouraging potential investors.
7. Corruption
8. Lack of Patriotism due to Ideological Subversion which drove many geniuses out of the country in 70s and 80s
9. Slave producing education system
10. Communal Divide
For us, the best case study would be Singapore, once a Slum ridden country which emerged as one of the greatest economic power under visionary leader Lee Kuan Yew, If you ask me socialism destroyed India.
@@jb-dn9lm no circumstances matter ... Japan is developed because they don't have to fight with anyone they choose to be colony of USA.... And china was lucky they were neighbour of Soviet union... And USA made china strong and 2 strong communist country can't be allies that's why china and Soviet were enemy but after defeat of Soviet china growth rapidly and now they stand against USA
I wonder what would India look like today if we had a strong leader like Bose as our first prime minister. Congress party wouldn’t have been in shambles today if he were to lead from the beginning
Bose was a socialist as well, he would have been just like Mudi
We need Bose and Savarkar, they had the right vision for this country
@@footylimbs5451 he was not a socialist he was somewhat communist but still believed in democracy in his own form.
@@jyou6202 who would you like to see as indias dictator now? Please tell cause crying about the past wont help india has settled itself in a democracy it is somewhat inefficient but it has its own advantages in such a diverse country like india dictatorship would never work.

Wow, your name can also be Shinobi.. he he, anime fan here. No offence or anything. Well you are right, people hating India is the result of years of distorted history text books.

@@A.s.k008 and then Britain also looted other country
@@A.s.k008 Today's Scandinavian people don't glorify the deeds of those Vikings. They see it as a kind of embarrassing part of their civilisational development.
Can you say this about countries like UK, France and the USA? Do they see colonialism and exploitation of other civilizations as a shameful deed? No, on the contrary.
Most Western people still believe that they have done those people a favor by replacing their "dreadful" indigenous kings and "primitive" ways of living with the gift of Western forms of government, such as democracy or communism and bringing them Western Christianity and Atheism.
And they are still doing this depending on how receptive that particular cilization is for their propagations.

I usually like your takes.
But lets be honest, during the early 50's and even upto the 60's, China was in the same position as India was.
With Similar per capita GDP, economy dependent on agriculture.
It's this victim mindset thaty stops us as a nation from excelling.
CHINA as nation was better governed economically and had liberated it's economy earlier than us, resulting in huge poverty reduction.
The current wealth/ economy of China have nothing to do with Mediaeval History.
there is this colonial mindset that we are inferior which is still prevails in our minds and english language superior complex and also the very big fault of the initial takeover of congress where they kept most of the administrative and education system mostly western, they never tried to really
decolonize indian mindset.
The growth of china happened through dictatorship. Millions of Chinese died through Mao's policies to bring China into its current state. Just because china is ahead today through it's dictatorial policy doesn't mean they are a country to emulate. Both the countries faced population explosion, dictatorial country was able to impose one child policy, democratic couldn't. Dictatorial countries are likely to rise faster but that does not mean they are ideal places to live in
@@anshba Hmm
No
China's economy under Mao, had little to no growth.
It was only under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, during which China opened up its economy to Foriegn Investment.
Mao was a disaster for China, from the pov of economy, although his rule kinda unified the Chinese.
That's what he is pointing out. India never got independence. 3/4th of the Indians are Anglophiles and wants to leave the country. Our ecosystem is still controlled by colonial mindset. And we have namesake independence.

India has the same GDP as China back in 1970s
Exactly , finally found a logical comment 😀
After Mao they had a magnificent leader called xiao deng and he changed china. our economic reforms also happend late. so some of it is on us.
It was even better off than china under chairman Zedong .
About time. Empires rise and fall. It is cyclical in nature. World order is changing. Countries that have been colonised and invaded for a long time are under recovery mode. Both India and china missed the Industrial revolution. But china had an upper hand during the time of Independence because their literacy rate was better than ours. Only 10% Indians were literate in 1947. The govts back then should have focussed more on Improving the literacy rate. Japan that was completely decimated in 1945 rose from the ashes because of their higher literacy rates and support from US in rebuilding their country.
China on the other hand opened up its economy in 1978 compared to India's economy opening up in 1991. So we definitely missed the train over there. But the key point is that most of the chinese growth is on the back of abnormally high unsustainable debt. That debt bubble is popping up and is being felt in real estate sector. China definitely is more developed and richer as compared to India. No doubt about it but to say that china is rich is an overstatement. It is an upper middle income country with huge Income disparity, corruption similar to ours. Chinese premier le keqiang himself said that 600 million chinese live on a monthly Income of less than US 140 Dollars.
India needs to focus on consistent economic growth for the coming 2 decades in order to reduce the development gap be it in social or economic Indicators.
china dont have multicultural problems,
and china dont give reservation.
reservation has single handedly destroyed india and india will never become a rich Nation until it fix those stupid laws .
@Rajesh Pal well we need to stand against all invaders at all costs.India shouldn't be Recolonised once again
Higher debt is not an issue for the Chinese Communist Party. What is debt? Just finances. China has developed itself into world-class industrial technology hub, they have technology that will sustain their nation for centuries. They have the powerful institutions that will sustain their country. India has none of it. China is already a superpower by one way or another, their slow economic growth is natural because their country is close to reaching its total potential, including their population issue. They will just transform Industries from being labour based to mechanical based manufacturing facilities. Robotics and artificial information is going to dominate the world now and China has already managed to gain a strong edge in the technology field as I mentioned before. The Communist Party definitely has a way forward for China if you do not neglect the China plan 2100.

We have a pernicious habit of continually blaming our past for our present condition instead of actually working towards making our future better.
Your attitude is like going to a hospital and asking "why is everyone sick"?

If you want to see growth go to other channels.
@@AdityaVerma-rn9jn I wasn't referring to Abhijit in my comment. It was a more general 'we' myself included.
Exactly. There are people who are willing to open up wounds of the past to poison the present. They are truly against India, against India's growth and are most presumably external agents sent to break India from the inside and out. Many of our friends believe their words blindly, without prudent thinking. It's a danger and a shame.
PS: I am not speaking against this channel. I am talking in general.
@@squ34ky the colonizers are to blamed very much....yes , even we indians are to be blamed at some point......but in history.....india is the most invaded country......why is that?

“…because of dumb luck…” I don’t think so. The difference between China and India is China would have made a comeback.
not luck but because of unity
the chinese didn't have advanced weapons like europeans but they had unity and thus they were able to successfully resist proper colonization
You're absolutely spot on. Most Indians don't even know that India civilised large parts of Asia and Europe via Greece. They mindlessly led to believe that Indians had a primitive past thanks to one thousand years of colonised slavery. At least now Indians are beginning to understand their own past in a more true sense.
India has done a lot of good in the past, but now instead of looking at the past, we need to look into the future and work for common good.
@@Luvallo First in order to look into the future and deliver, clarity of the past is required. True history needs to be understood. No nation can move into the future believing they're good for nothing simply because their education system says so.
@@redwoodthomas5943 agreed. History is to be learnt. And should be learnt with honesty. But unless you are a historian doing this for your living, dwelling too much into the past at time opens up wounds uncalled for. And then it poisons the present and the future. So, everyone needs to draw a line and maintain balance.
@@jyou6202 I do not deny that the wounds are real and/or they take time to heal. I believe they should be acknowledged and apologised for by the ones who caused them. No question. The only issue is when someone makes this a quagmire of an only agenda that is worthy to be addressed. When that happens, you lose out on several other fronts and, infact, end up being exploited on those other fronts. That's why there has to be checks and balances for everything.
@@jyou6202 i would again refer you back to my earlier comment (latter part). For the record, I don't deny or disagree with your stand. What you said is quite true and prevalent but at the same time, sad.
Sir, I beg to differ with your view here.
We were colonized not because of our disunity.
We were in pursuit of spirituality.
Arabs, Turks, Europeans were in pursuit of profitability.
We could not fathom the depth of their hunger, nor could we envision the savagery they could inflict on us.
We considered them as fellow humans and got slaughtered & looted.
"The pen is mightier than the sword, but you need a sword to keep safe the hand that writes with the pen"
You're right.
True, even after independence, congress and its socialism had a similar mindset, nehru didn't want India to grow and becoming rich quickly. He wanted very slow growth and freebies for the masses, resulting in bankruptcy in 1991.
Abhijit is a breath of fresh air in a scene which is usually dominated by propagandists and entitled "intellectuals". His direct and facts-only approach is something a lot of people could do with. Kudos to you!

And thier 35% of their economy (this sector also comes in 80%) which is real estate is crashing as thier are more houses then people and the cost of the houses is the 2nd costliest in the world and mind this that people in china are not the richest people
Thier manufacturering sector will or is already failing as supply of fresh water is polluted that's why they need aksai chin.
The cost of manufacturing has increased by 30% and the cost of raw materials which is irom has increased by 25% cost of rebar has increased by 40%.
Plus transportation cost has increased
Labour cost has increased by 3x
And the sanctions are effecting china manufacturering sector a little bit too
Thats why companies are removing factories from china and establishing them in vietnam,Indonesia, India
They are also in trillions of dollars of debt as their real estate is failing their are more than 60 cities which are completely modern but no person lives their then there's bullet train alot less numbers of people are using it even tho it is widely spread in the country
you just blamed everything on colonizers and congress 🤣, I agree India had a bad past but its been almost 70 years and even if I assume that congress is to blame for everything we must not forget that India is a democratic country we elected them year after year. I was expecting an answer around geography, culture, society imbalance, climate, trade relations, leadership and all sorts of things they must have a huge impact on the development of the country.
True, I completely disagree with this analysis, many country started from scratch alongside us or even later, it'll be lazy to blame everything on the Brits.

India is poor because of toooo democracy. Too many parties and oppositions. Takes forever to get laws and regulations pass . India is not united enough. North vs South. West vs east. Indian that study overseas are not going back to India.

Look at china today. China Solar farm, wind power, trains, road bridges, tunnel in each of these = the world .

_Before 1962 two wars were fought between the Chinese and Indian empires one in 648-649 CE and the other one in 1841 CE._

(2)✴️ *Another war was fought between the Chinese Qing dynasty and Indian Sikh Empire in the Ladakh region in 1841 CE.*
What were the outcomes ?
@Uniform Tango No we lost the first one cuz the Chinese captured the usurper king of Kannauj and took him to China where he was later executed.

India and china had almost same gdp by 1990. So colonial era destroying indian economy is not completely a valid point. Post 1990 china flourished and india did not
Pakistan had more gdp per capita than both India and China until 1994.
I agree with most of the things you said, one thing I would like to add is that when the British arrived they bought capitalism and most of the economic policies, even after 75 years of independence still inherently are from the British.
Socialism destory india after independence
India and China were neck to neck in 1990 but China went up like crazy , this has nothing to do with the past since in 1990 both the countries were on the same level. Why did India lack so behind ?
Because of our 'pandit' nehru and his socialism. No liberation of markets till 1991, China liberated markets long ago. India's failure is a mix of colonialism, congress bootlicking of English people, socialism, India being close to Soviet union hence usa never liked India like they did China, so never invested into India, even after 1991 liberation,but they invested a lot in China and of course straight up mismanagement of the administration of nation.
China was bankrolled by the USA for offshore manufacturing and countering the Soviet Union

An Indian student, Ranjeet, stoled my bike whilst attending University in California. I helped him out a lot and he stabbed me in the back. Now I try not to equate this unfortunate experience but it does enter my judgement sometimes.
China adopted Capitalism in 1978. But India follow socialism from 1947.
Also Americans were coming to support us by giving us nukes but Mr great nehru refused which made west and india enemy
Mao eliminated feudal landlords, and Deng allowed foreign capital to come in so that they could develop their own industries.
#AskAbhijit, Even after 1000 years of Islamic invasions and 300 years of rule by Mugals, why weren't they able to convert Indian subcontinent into an Islamic State, as they did to Persia, Egypt, Turkey etc.
good question sir
Because all these countries were monotheism based and we're the Gyan parampara people and we fought very well. Read Sita Ram Goel book," Heroic Hindu resistance to Islamic invaders" even Shahiya Dynasty of Kabul resisted for 100 + years.
As a Chinese, i am rolling my eyes. This guy could not be more wrong about China.
1, China did not have the ego to conquer other people? Because China found out the military conquest can are not sustainable, China did it during Han dynasty, conquered all land known to them, but it was very expensive to maintain that military dominance. How many large empires fall apart and disappeared due to that? After the Han dynasty China was more about cultural influence and trade. look at Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, you get your answer.
2, India was richer? China has documented almost everything, how many people they had, how much tax they collected, how many people they lost in wars. Does India even have record? in which languages? India was not even a country until the British. There never was a central government.
3, China was industrialized in the 50s, building railroads, dams everywhere. India can't even build it all by itself even today.
If China does any economic growth, it's because of the hard work of their people and the policies of their Maoist Government. Of course they're paying the price for it in terms of lack of free speech, human rights, Democracy etc but their living standards are improving.

Obviously the invaders/colonizers are responsible for all the destruction they did, while occupying India. However, we should equally blame the Nehruvian Socialist Regime for not correcting the destruction brought about by the colonizers. China was poorer than India during the 1970s, but managed to leapfrog India in development, due to free market reforms. The key to becoming a developed economy is to embrace free market capitalism.
Exactly! Why don't we have a libertarian party in India?
@@Shusspace Because Indians, regardless of political affiliation, remain a mentally colonized people. Indians are a very socialistic minded people and I think this has to do with the education system, and the perpetual victimhood mentality. Alot of these Libertarian movements in India, died out simply because there wasn't a demand for them, among the Indian population.
@@Enlightenment78964 true, I strongly agree with the victim mindset statement, we love shifting our blame, colonisation is not the sole let alone a major reason for our bad economy how can it be blamed after 70 years, it hurts that still millions of people are malnourished in our country, our Education and Academia has also a huge left bias we still think that everything free is our birthright, let's hope this mindset will change some day.

@@Enlightenment78964 it happens by keeping the common masses poor, the poorer they are, the more idiotic they become, and easy for someone to brainwash and communalize. That's what causes a downfall, not just economic downfall but even cultural downfall.
Germany & Japan were totally destroyed after world war 2, But with in 20 to 30 years, they bounced back. Why can’t India do that? Basically corruption & lack of discipline. You can’t blame that on any party, congress or others. If every Indians demanded better governance & non corrupted we would be a better country.
First they came on horses, then in ships, today in Aircraft Carriers. Iraq & Libya had some of the highest living standards in the ME region. Orchestrated wars, major oil contracts went to ExxonMobil, Halliburton, BP, Shell, Baker Hughes. Millions killed. Same thing.
No so great argument. China alos got invaded and looted by japansese, mongolians, russians and Britishers. Infact, Japanese did lot of atrocities to chinese people. In reality,
india is poor because we are so divided people in terms of religion, langauge, state, color etc. Religion is major drawback that is against our development.
Because China adopted sustainability with their one-child policy. Regardless of the demographic problems, China is still much better off than they would be without the one-child policy.
Why Indian cities are not planned well ? And why India doesn't have skyscrapers? Can't we replan cities like chennai which has a port ? Why is our infrastructure and our roads not based on looks and quality ? Singapore and Japan have one of the best infrastructure, drain systems and roads ? Why can't India achieve this at least with new planned cities like NOIDA ?
So sad
Yeah but in 1952 China's GDP was 30 Billion $ and India was at 31.2 billion, which was after independence. Won't blame Turks and British now. Who's left ? Jawaharlal Nehru ?
Respected sir,
Really amazing the way you speak about the truth and reality. Learnt so much from you. Hoping to learn more😇😇
Blaming invaders now is a lame excuse. Much After the invaders had left India, China and India were almost similar in terms of size of the economy,but Pakistan , herself already sunk,made India sink too. I mean Internal as well as External Conflicts.
😂This person contradicts himself. In the beginning of the video, he himself says that India's GDP was very high till 1700 ( which was the Mughal era) and then later says that the invaders and Turks looted India..
Hello sullah
@@MASHANKARMAHADEVAN hi 😉..did i say something wrong..?
Just see the video of Shanghai building screaming for food
colonialism was devastating but i do think india could take more responsibility for its future. look at countries like japan. which was poorer than india at one point. for example, life expectancy in india is around 70 compared to around 80 in the usa. the indian govt could encourage indians to consume less oil, milk, butter and animal products and consume more vegetables and fruits. while eating around 1800 cals each day. they could also encourage them to exercise daily for 30-60 mins. all of which could easily boost life expectancy without the need for spending heavily on healthcare. the number of stray dogs could also be done away with by partnering with ngos and other animal rights group. something which could make the country more clean. providing more funding to ngos like teach for india so they could impact more children with high quality education could be a solution to tackling india's education crisis.
One of the reason is the late economic reform
Why did the British colonize so many countries and only you India could not develop?
kon si colony develop hui democracy ke sath 😂
em....india was much more industrialised than china was by 1949 when the people's republic of china was founded. gpd per capita of these two countries were even pretty much equal by the beginning of the 1990s
Sir, when I hear from you all these things I feel very sad. But as an individual I should follow my dharma, I should be financially independent, fit bodily and mind and will make my children like me ❤

Colonizers and then the Congress government that ruled after 1947
India had a millennium of humiliation
Great Wisdom ❣️
Sir u have shown wrong map of india plz correct fast
Sirji Please Bharat ka pura map dikhaiye🙏
Bharat Mata Ki Jai
Great explanation again🙏🙏👌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
#ASKAbhijit I have a question sir that India and China has a great population but still China is still 5 times richer than India. Can you explain why so?
First reason was that India was part of British Raj for 89 years. So, it was brutally exploited by British. On the other hand, China was never completely colonised by Europeans.
Secondly, India is an agricultural based economy which means average people from India earn not a lot less than Industrial and manufactural based economy of China.
adding the globally recognised estimate of 47 trillion dollar of today's Currency the british looted, India then stands 50 trillion dollar economy, bigger than america's.
Indian map in thumbnail is wrong, kindly correct it.
But during 1980 period India and China had almost same economy, so why India is still struggling for become 5 trillion dollar economy and China become worlds largest economy.. why? We can't always blame Britishers for what had they done....
Probably because India uses lots of money to have more kids than to help build the economy
@@ninjapirate123 Care about you own Pakistan economy, That one is already sinking ... I'm talking about our economy...
@@anonymous1926ias India's economy is slowly sinking too, if you live in India
@@ninjapirate123 😂😂 Are you kidding me ? India fastest growing economy in the world.. In present time 1 Indian rupees is equal to 3 Pakistan rupees..
@@anonymous1926ias Why are you only comparing India with Pakistan but not with other countries?
The reason why India is poorer then China even when we started at same position is because India in 1950s chose to made Heavy Industries as the main driver of growth while China opted for Agriculture. The result was in 20-30 years China has surplus from agricultural output which they used to Industrialize China and its people also gained purchasing power to buy its industrial products, meanwhile India was exporting Food grains from outside its people didn't had that purchasing power to consume Industrial goods and huge amount of money was being spent on Poverty eradication schemes because India started on the wrong foot in the 1st place. Had India chosen Agriculture as its main driver of growth in its initial year I am sure India's story would be very different by now.
Thank you abhijit sir🙏
Abhijit sir I'm very afraid of our democratic system and they way politician reaction on secularism and try to defame Hindu~Buddhist~Jain culture. There in one section heavy appeasement politics. How can we stay alive in future? I doubt.
China also was a huge empire before
China has a hegemony when it comes to exporting goods. Crazy china will again sell cheap ev automobiles.
I don't think that's true about China. China and India had the same GDP few decades back but in India there is too much corruption and there's no unity and everyone put religion before the nation and this is the sole reason why India is far far behind china. In a way I feel India needs a strong leader too (like Modi but prefer someone better at the moment he's the only option rather than that cartoon gandhi) like how China abolished religion can't happen in India but this definitely plays a major role because there's so much internal fights nobody wants to see the bigger picture of the nation succeeding
China was bankrolled by the USA for offshore manufacturing. The USA made them rich, period. And the USA is and waas the sole richest superpower
I feel you are avoiding the question by blaming everything on colonisation. Exclude the past and go back just 40+ years to the 1970's-1980... China was just as poor as India and perhaps even more backward. From that specific starting point, explain then the exponential progress seen in China over the last 4 decades compared to India....
Congress
Yup this video doesn't make any sense.
I thinks indian government can't be only blamed, but peoples of India also have lazyness regarding work than chineese who are extremely dedicated to their work...
its a myth chinese people or german people or whatever people are dedicated to their work and it causes wealth or poverty or whatever. everyone is lazym and indians especially have to work their asses off just to stay afloat.
Where's the lie
Log harami h hmare, upar se mulle gle pde h
Indians are lazy by nature.. I've seen Chinese, they're dedicated
@INDIC WING compare GDP of both nation and consider whole country
India , Indian constitution ( unusual ) and Indian intellectual citizens . This is beyond compair any country of the world .
Nice question from the student
Thanks for replacing the map of India used in the thumbnail.
Sir Please correct India's Map in thumbnail
Inn faltu baaton par chinta krke koi fayeda nhi.
Our government's bad economic decisions were also reason for us being poor
1. Nehru and Indira Gandhi were supporter of the socialist ideology
2. India was somewhat of an socialist country where major industries were in control of the government from 1950 - 80
3. Ease of doing business was very poor, because of all pervasive licensing (license raj) , which discouraged the entrepreneurial mindset which made us rich in the past
4. Government intervention drove away MNCs like Coca Cola and IBM
5. Bank Nationalisation worsen our Economic condition and achieved nothing but Quick loan facility for Politicians
6. Rise of Communism, which ruined strong economies like West Bengal, by discouraging potential individuals.
7. Corruption
8. Lack of Patriotism due to Ideological Subversion which drove many geniuses out of the country in 70s and 80s
9. Slave producing education system
10. Communal Divide
For us, the best case study would be Singapore, once a Slum ridden country which emerged as one of the greatest economic power under visionary leader Lee Kuan Yew, If you ask me socialism destroyed India.
@lakshya varshney When did organic farms became a benchmark? We certainly have the largest arable land but still millions are malnourished.
If you're talking about food security, maybe that can be a problem but chances are still less.
India map on thumbnail is incorrect
Unfair distribution of Wealth.

What would have been the consequences if Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose would have been the first pm of India? , How he would have prevented India-Pakistan partition? , How he would have dealed with China? , What steps he would have taken to form Akhand Bharat? , How he would have dealed with separatism in India? and What would have been India's stand in world economy and GDP?
Abhijit sir, please take my question, in ur next video..
this is very surprising that an indian not have a counter argument and where i search these foreign people to make them shameful yes you heard right i make them shameful about their ancestors.
How do you make em feel shame?
Democracy and dictatorship are behind this diff between India and China development.
after independence nehru's socialist economic policies
If rajputs,Marathas , cholas ahoms all be united it would be different, what to do , we have to go far to make our country the golden bird again , we have the potential, if we can deal with some major problems like education , and only india have the potential the most
Nice video sir !!
This a fuckin excuse. Looks at the examples of Singapore, Japan, Malaysia. They rose from virtually nothing to be one of the most prosperous country.
hi sir, small doubt because of food shortage in the world, can we(india) use it for gain for leverage in geopolitical situation? as we export nearly 17.73 billion dollars can we leverage this?
Why is English the official language of India? 99% of people in China can't speak English. But it was China that developed?
I agree.. With him👍
