Like some say the indian dream is to leave to the US and pursue their American dream.

I am fortunate to have here one of the earliest printings of Jawaharlal Nehru's The Discovery of India, written in 1944 while he was imprisoned in Ahmadnagar Fort:
It was presumptuous of me to imagine that I could unveil India and find out what she is and what she has been. Today she is four hundred million men and women, each differing from the other, each a private universe of thought and feeling. If this is so in the present, how much more daunting to grasp that multitudinous past of innumerable successions of human beings. Yet something has bound them together and binds them still. India is a geographical and economic entity, a bundle of contradictions held together by strong yet invisible threads. Overwhelmed again and again, her spirit was never conquered, and today when she appears to be the plaything of a proud conqueror, she remains unsubdued and unconquered. About her there is the elusive quality of a legend of long ago; some enchantment seems to have held her mind. She is a myth, an idea, and yet real and pervasive. There are terrifying glimpses of dark corridors which seem to lead back to primeval night, but there is also the fullness and warmth of the day about her. Shameful and repellent she is occasionally, perverse and obstinate, sometimes even a little hysteric, this lady with a past. But she is very lovable and none of her children can forget her wherever they go or whatever strange fate befalls them. For she is part of them in her greateness as well as her failings, and they are mirrored in those deep eyes of hers that have seen so much of life's passion and joy and folly, and looked down into wisdom's well.

BBUUTTT Most Westerners say India superpower on the way to beating Chyna!!
India is following China's strategy in tech development. Understandable that a big country like India want to be tech independent . While the Chinese local tech markets are being protected and benefited from US sanctions, India has to sanction itself to promote local products. Without sanctions or regulated import licences, Chinese and Indian companies have little chance against massive well established foreign companies that flooded the market with their products. However China has a known advantage in gaining technology at China speed, that is by doublings down on R&D and investment in human capitals. President Xi knows that having foreign companies invested in the country are not enough, the Chinese must learn the tech. Learn, modernise and excel fast.They have so far succeeded in turning sanctions into challenges and opportunities rather than death sentences. At worst, sanctions had only been temporary hindrances. At best, it is helping to create a tech eco system.
But India has the advantages of 100% political and technical supports from the West. There are no limitations from the West to Indian achievements. Surely India will succeed in some forms if they can get their strategy right but so far their government is following the US strategy i.e. everything they do must counter, not help China which is not necessary the best or right strategy. The China-phobia has its consequences.
Yes, I remember that poll... was undergoing puberty at that time.
We were so young back then, I remember I was fighting US-China flame wars at other forums. SDF was the only forum that would insta-ban if you even remotely brought up US-China flame war stuff. Not anymore ahahaha....Good times lol.
