Indian Economics thread.

Under Modi, lmao no. The guy is turning his country into a Hindu nationalist fascist hell hole, and they might ended up sparking an Islamic extremist group and indirectly feeding them new members with the amount of Muslim discrimination and violence they are enabling. Who knows, maybe it'll become similar to China's history of the peasants revolting against the KMT nationalist party for their failure to bring prosperity to their people.

India is making a beeline for ethno-religious fanaticism and 14th century feudalism under Modi.

Modi trying to reform India to be like China isn’t going to work because India never had a strong centralized state but rather operated on a loose system of patronage which even the British and Mughals struggled to change.

It’s best for them to follow a model that is more complementary to their own unique characteristics but they’ve suckered themselves to trying emulate the worst part of the West and China.

Least not forget they have a whole underclass of untouchables "dalits" that are human waste/shit collectors, they're at the bottom rung of the caste system, a human sewerage system. Cities definitely aren't cleaner than the countryside.

How will the climate change-induced heatwave affect India's economic development? Having one is bad enough, but imagine having one while being a poor country! I hope the common people will survive this.

I wonder why the BBC ignores Pakistan, which is clearly in a far worse situation than India in this map.

There are two major reasons why. First, India has poor human capital. Indian immigrants to the West are the creme de la creme. When India participated in PISA, they ranked second last to bottom.

Second, India's economic structure is not a "condition". It's a choice. For whatever reason, India's economic strategy has been to focus on high-skill exports. IT services and pharma are the classic examples but as Arvind Subramanian has shown, even in manufacturing, Indian exports tend to be skill-intensive and capital-intensive. In other words, the hallmarks of a developed country. India has lots of unskilled labour, yet all its strategies are aimed at the high-end. Even the latest semiconductor push is similar. Assuming it succeed (and I am somewhat skeptical) then it would not have created many jobs as making chips is not very labour-intensive and the jobs available are mostly high-skilled.

Well said. Climate change will compound things for India in the coming decades. Water crisis, heat waves, overpopulation, heat waves + humidity, etc...

The majority of Indians are hypernationalist Jai Hinds. They hate China and Chinese people with all their being. The more Chinese people become aware of this, the better.

I say the majority because of course there are Indians who aren't like that and even Indians who are the exact opposite of all that. But within the majority of the bhakts, at best they have a neutrality towards China but their way of "thinking" really allows for a repulsive disgusting hate to form and brew. They are therefore not much better than a Jai Hind of the radicalised variety.

That's just sad to read if everything you wrote is true.

The only reason why India gets any attention in potentially being as grand as they want to believe is because China is doing it. The only reason why they say India will beat China is because India holds Western institutions like democracy and they recognize the West is their superior. So if China can get where it's at now, India has to do better. Before China's rise India was in the sh*th*le third world country category to the West. Remember, India is where they have the courtesy culture. That's where they'll lie to people if they think the person they're lying to would rather hear the lie than the truth. So no wonder India is filled with delusions of grandeur. I wonder if they got it from the British because those rioters in Hong Kong are just as highly deluded. I noticed in the news the Western propagandists are saying China is destroying itself with their zero-tolerance COVID policy by locking down the engine of China's economy, Shanghai. I thought they said that of Hong Kong...

You see how a million of middle eastern refugees caused an uproar in nationalist sentiments and extremism in Europe, contributing to their worsening political stability both domestically and in their organization.

Middle eastern refugees migrations advanced from bottom to top in European societies , all at once in huge numbers thus causing resentment in the working class. Indians advanced from long term strategy of developing from top to bottom. Thus you get Vice President,
chancellor of the exchequer, Defence minister, Presidential adviser, mayor ,heads of tech giants, journalists/ reporters etc etc . They have set the conditions in influencing European societies in having a more favourable views of Indian migrants or refugees.

Because it's a zemocracy. It's not rocket science that if India was governed under a communist system then all the accomplishments you cited would not be as prominent. Indians are not that special and or talented compared to anyone else let alone the Chinese.
