Forget about overtaking China, India's supposed transition into the world's next big factory never occurred either. I remember in the late 2000s and early 2010s about how everyone was saying India would become the next manufacturing powerhouse and that Made in China would become Made in India. They just took this for granted. Now India's lunch is getting eaten up by countries like Bangladesh, the Philippines, and especially Vietnam. When did you hear Vietnam's government and Vietnamese people constantly bombard the internet about Vietnam is going to become a huge manufacturing hub? Never. And here we are looking at the emergence of a powerful Vietnamese manufacturing center that was supposed to be India's for taking.
The Indians are UNSURPASSED when it comes to counting their chickens before they hatch and making enough noise around the world so some outside India even believe them for half a second. When they inevitably get exposed, the world ignores it because no one cares about India. So just like Indians loudly proclaiming they will replace made in China with made in India and then it gets exposed as a failure even 10 years after the trends and celebrations, they will also do nothing in Ladakh and their economic war is doomed to fail before it has even begun properly. The Indians now are busy saying how they will respond militarily and how their economic war will destroy China (lol) but like their superpower 2012 chit chat, we all know how it will end for them.
So just like superpower 2012 and surpassing China economically by 2020, Indian words are rather lacking in reputation and value. For those who have worked closely with Indians and Indian companies, this is NO surprise.
I also recall Indians telling the internet how awesome and dominant a not even ready fictional fighter, FGFA, will be when it reaches IAF. How those idiots quietened up. You see Indians have been caught out on lies and bullshit more times than the rest of the world combined in modern history, but they are never called out on it because we just don't care enough about the lowlifes. However in light of recent events, it pays to remember some of these dotpoints and note them. This way we don't think too much of Indian threats and warnings. Maybe those are worth a laugh and that's about it.
