India's electronic exports have been surging the past years. It seems to me that India might have finally found a solution to their chronic lack of electronic exports.
Just need another few years to see if the same trend happens with growing electronic exports

Assembly work... they're importing massive volumes of integrated circuits, micro assemblies & other components from China.
Assembling work is the first step. The question is, can they make it to the second step and start producing some domestic parts with domestic IP
However, first step is first step. They did some progress at least
Bro, like her previous endeavor they don't have the staying power, the gov't should provide continues support like policy direction and infrastructure to maintain the momentum BUT as we all know the Indian mentalities is her major drawback.

Is that possible - let alone practical ?
There was essentially no intermarriage between castes or rather sub-castes until living memory. So they'll be immediately found out, if someone had a look at their genealogical records - unless those have been falsified too.
Of course, members of a caste are free to collectively lobby to be classified as members of backward group worthy of government jobs and university reservation too.

I agree with this. I used to post on a few Indian-centric defence forums and the amount of anti-Chinese racism of the crudest kind makes all of us look like hippies. SDF is much more tolerant by comparison.
Of course, this doesn't justify outright anti-Indian racism, but the whining from various Indians about supposedly lack of "respect" is just hilarious given their side is 10X worse. I honestly don't even think it should be controversial to say that Indian managers are more nepotistic than other ethnicities. It's something you see and hear from people over and over again. I also don't think it is wrong to talk about the caste system's role in this.
That may not be pleasant for an Indian to hear, but none of us are under the need to make them feel good about themselves. Social conditions affect economic outcomes. Another big problem for India is very low female labour force participation, which has many root causes, but one of them is that many women don't feel safe travelling to and from work - especially at night.
A stumbling block for India is very high industrial electricity prices. That is a consequence of a power sector with high debt combined with insufficient throughput on the transmission side, as India has actually done a decent job adding new capacity.
Naturally, most Chinese people are not offended by racism from Indians. Still, it surprises me to no end when an Indian thinks that they deserve anything but outright hostility from a Chinese person, especially in 2023.
Because Indians (elite/upper caste) assume that their GENETICALLY SUPERIOR to any Chinese plain and simple. The Indians don't talk of superiority over any other white caucasoid races since they think and feel they're of the same kin hence a sense of fraternity/brotherhood/kinship of high intellect, and high martial prowess. That's where the misplaced confidence come from along with the sneering attitude towards any success China achieves with accusations of debt trap, Chinese stealing tech, genocide, China collapse theory that's embedded in the psyche of these group of Indians.
If the Indians don't think that way then they wouldn't look down on China/Chinese and treat China as if it's their perpetual enemy to be despised, ridicule, and feared at the same time.
As a point, I don't think Chinese is in anyway at all GENETICALLY SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR TO ANY ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE WORLD. That sort of thinking is IDIOTIC, FASCISTIC, AND MOST ESPECIALLY COMICALLY RACIST. Chinese people need to excel is borne out of our struggle and continued survival in spite of the deluge of struggles, upheavals, and hostilities from countries where we're forced to be placed into; given the promised of riches and to find a place of peace, serenity, and solace away from the land turned upside down due to China's internal rot as well as external factors that upended then existing order. Wherever Chinese people go we find ways to adapt and thrive to the point of being envied, hated, and still be treated as outsiders to the countries if residence as perpetual outsiders or not Canadian, Australian, American enough. I don't want to belittle and disregard the hostilities, and horrible sufferings Indians suffered at the hands of their colonizers doing so is despicable beyond human reasoning. But it's also one of the most perplexing conundrum I don't understand from Indians. They should be more understanding and respectful as to what animates current China's recalcitrant approach with respect to it's legal and historical rights regarding the border issue, the South China Sea situation along with the ongoing geopolitical contest between China and U.S. along with her vassals.
