As time goes on, they produce and absorb more of both. India ultimately is growing rapidly. I don't know if contradictions of this nation will tear it apart, but for now the course is steady.

Talent loss in modern economies is ultimately by design - it's pressure release mechanism. Don't let them out - and who knows when disgruntled scholar will see a vision with Jesus.

Talent drain isn't a sign of a failed nation, it's a sign of developing nation with higher than necessary education output, and with open borders.

1. The demise of labor-intensive manufacturing is not an overnight phenomenon. In fact, global demand over the next fifteen years—including India's own—will sustain a significant volume of labor-intensive manufacturing. We should not focus solely on employment figures for all Indians; instead, we must examine output growth within India's relevant industries. As domestic wealth circulates, the demand generated by its urban population will support the development of numerous labor-intensive industries in India. This trajectory remains unaffected by the automation revolution currently unfolding elsewhere in the world.

Their protectionism may allow labour intensive industries to exist in India, but those industries are still uncompetitive in the world, like now.

But its manufacturing output has still grown substantially because India's overall GDP is expanding rapidly.

I think economic might is tightly integrated to national defence, so this discussion is warranted. As long as we don't overdo it and anger the mods too much.

On the topic of India's GDP, it deserves to be mentioned that there are many doubts about how accurate their numbers are. India's former Chief Economic Advisor, Arvind Subramanian, wrote a series of papers in 2018-19 on this very topic. His estimation is that the official GDP growth number is inflated by maybe 2 percentage points.

That said, I am modestly optimistic about India. We have to compare India to countries like Pakistan or Bangladesh. China is culturally completely distinct. And when comparing India to its natural comparators, India actually does pretty well. I am not a "superpower India" booster, but I think it's almost inevitable they will get to the 3rd largest economy in the world and the distance to the 4th largest will grow as the decades go by.

And one final word on defence. We can laugh about Tejas and whatever, but India is a nuclear power and basically faces no real external threat. The fact that the IAF is a joke is a minor embarrassment, but in the grand scheme of things it's frankly inconsequential.

Lool Pakistan is probably the worse country in South Asia(the poorest region in Asia and even the world after parts of sub-Saharan Africa) when it comes to governance . You should look at the advantage they had over India after their independence until the 70s/80s when India finally abandoned her Soviet model of licence raj. Since then Pakistan has only gotten worse and worse, in fact even Bangladesh who was basically a Pakistanis colony and Bengalis were looked down on by West Pakistanis as basically inferior people , yet after a hard fought independence struggle and all the destruction and absolute poverty Bengladesh suffered today begladesh is even doing better than Pakistan (something that was unthinkable by anyone just a few decades ago) , I’m sorry Pakistans military leaders (who have hijacked the country’s affairs and governance for decades ) have failed completely at almost all economic and development levels. They can only use the India bogeyman to maintain their grip on the country and its economy. Pakistan will remain the same and keep lagging behind until this conflict is resolved and there is a proper revolution politically in the country, on the type of radical revolutionary change Deng Xiaoping forced through after Mao’s death and purging of Maoist factions in the party.
Pakistan will need a revolution of some sort.
Plus many of you forget that the US has been Pakistan biggest supporter militarily and financially since Pakistan independence . In fat the US supported Pakistan even more than China did. So that also helped Pakistan a lot during those years they had an advantage over India. Things have changed though , as India has grown in economy and significance and Chinas threat has increased towards the US. So the importance placed on Pakistan has reduced for the US, though they still support to Pakistan since the US also doesn’t want a dominant India in South Asia(read the US NATIONAL SECURITY REVIEW POLICY where they state that their policy has always been to prevent ANY POWER FROM BEING THE DOMINANT POWER IN HER NEIGHBOURHOOD/REGION). That’s how the USA maintains her hegemony which has been very smart and successful so far.
