    Being an Indian I have a very strong feeling that whenever we talk about Indians/Indian history/Indian economy & developing programs, we always blame British & our political leadership but never blame ourselves that we are responsible for it directly. British came in power because few people wants always on the throne and allowed rest of Indian to be slaves then politicians wanted always in power and make slave again rest of Indians. Look at us in the 21st century we r still voting 🗳 in the name of caste creed and ironically those old government still wants us to vote for them.

Also depends what kind of leadership are you having. Why didn't china grew for nearly four decades ? Just like that india didn't grew economically for about 5 decades because it was closed to the rest of the world. Also india doesn't have rich country in it's neibourhood like China had to invest money and to trade with. Japan, SK ,Taiwan ,HK all were there to.manufacture there goods in china and sell them elsewhere.

    This is a great video. I'm from China and we are very curious about Indian culture. In ancient times our culture was partly influenced by Indian culture probably through Buddhism. India and China have a lot in common. Both are large countries with large populations; both are old countries with splendid cultures; both used to be affected by western invasion; both used to be very poor and have a lot of people to feed. I hope China and India can settle the territory dispute peacefully and join hands to develop together.

The current stakeholders though will do everything to maintain the status quo; it'll be even harder among those who want changes to reach a consensus on what degree they have to go, how to realize it, and what shares people should settle on post-revolution - which means you have to go through much infighting first. Nope, not gonna happen anytime soon - unless unforeseeable calamity brings majority of the population together.

They did everything to reduce it to ashes, but what they don't know is we are like Phoenix which can rise from ashes.Some people say Brits left long back, yet India is still poor, the reason is, it is broken in all ways to such an extent that it really need lot of time to rebuild from scratch.

      Another problem is democracy. This may be controversial but hear me out. Out of the countries you mentioned, *China and Korea are both authoritarian*, while Japan has a rigid societal system that makes its society one of the most disciplined in the world. *India's democracy is not like the West.* Remember, Democracy is a western system. It's designed for western society. India was at it's best when the Gupta Kings ruled. Todays Indian "democracy" is just a fake thing that exists to fill politicians pockets. Hence I believe that a very educated person, preferably with a modern outlook, should rule India as a authoritarian for 25-30 years.
      To quote the man who made Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew : *With a few exceptions, western democracy has provided no benefit to Asia.*
      Remember, this is the guy who advised China when it was poor.

    Because here people make babies to show the society, they are not barren. They raise babies, so as they could help them in old age. They brain wash children to take jobs, which make their parents proud in society. Never follow your own passion. Doing your own homeworks like cleaning, cooking and repairing is a low caste activity, so it must not not be practiced. India is poor because you are not to express yourself, if it is conflicting older people and century old customs. And, you must never listen to the young ones because they always blabber in high adrenaline state, without making any sense.

    Somehow this questions a very straightforward and yet complex answer.
    Coming to the straightforward answer, corruption, laziness of ppl, lack of civic sense and socialist policies. India as a society need to pull up its socks and start working hard. No excuses.
    Now the complex answer, it’s not easy to govern india.
    India’s problem is very very unique - diversity. In no other country would you find such a diverse population. We Indians have hundreds of criteria to divide ourselves. Religion, caste, social classes, linguistic divisions, etc etc. you’d find cultures differing every few hundred kilometres.
    So making laws which won’t offend anyone and benefits everyone is quite a difficult task and enforcing it is even more difficult. You’d find someone protesting against every law.
    And this gives rise to votebank politics and appeasement politics for the sake of winning elections.
    You could give me the example of china, which was similar to india when we started, but you have to understand that china had to compromise on democratic values for the remarkable growth. Dissent is totally crushed there.
    The west, diversity has been encouraged once they have become rich and developed. And the immigrants are expected to follow the law of the land. India isn’t like that. That’s why it frustrated me when someone offers the china model or Japanese model of growth for india. No. India has unique problems, it requires unique solutions.

      To so overidentify who you are with where you were born (which you had no say in, no control over)...and to try to link to any of its success, math or science...as if it means anything about you, is an ego grab. For sure.
      To get stuck on thinking your country is the best, simply because you live (d) there...is immature at best. It lacks awareness, and a true big picture view.
      None of us is special, due to where we were born. That’s a fallacy, an ego game.
      We cling to things like that, in order to feel significant. You’re human. It really shouldn’t increase or decrease your value, depending on where you came from.
      Now...on to the claim that “India is the country that has contributed the most to the field of math and science”.
      First, there is not one solitary “field” of math and science!! There are various fields, so many different disciplines in the FIELDS of math and science.
      Next, that’s a preposterous claim. While India has indeed contributed to various disciplines within the fields of math and science...to claim its the country that has contributed most, is myopic and obtuse.
      Many countries have contributed. The wisest among those in specialities collaborate with others to expand upon and increase their knowledge and skill.
      Many countries have incredible contributions, which have been the building blocks for others (often from other countries) to further disciplines along. No man is an island. Rare is the country untouched by influence of others. It’s like a multidimensional, multifaceted web of connections. To make such an arrogant/ignorant claim...is to be childlike and trying to make things simple in order to make sense of complex things.
      Your paradigm is informed by deep biases and narratives...with ego at the center. I challenge you to challenge your conditioned thinking...examine who you are (you aren’t your country...but merely a human, a spiritual being, who is grasping to limiting concepts).
